Planting and Sowing Instructions:

1. When to Plant: Plant your Gladiolus seeds in early spring after the last frost, once the soil temperature reaches about 60°F (16°C).

2. Prepare the Soil: Choose a location with well-draining soil. Amend the soil with compost for optimal fertility. Gladiolus thrive in slightly acidic to neutral soil (pH 6.0–7.0).

3. Sowing: Plant the seeds about 3-4 inches deep and space them about 4-6 inches apart. If you are growing gladiolus in containers, ensure there is sufficient drainage.

4. Watering: Water the seeds immediately after planting and keep the soil moist until the seeds germinate. Once the seedlings have established, water regularly, but avoid overwatering.

5. Sunlight: Gladiolus require full sun for best growth, ideally 6-8 hours per day. However, they can tolerate partial shade as well.

6. Support: Although these are compact varieties, some gladiolus plants may require staking to support the tall flower stalks as they bloom.

7. Aftercare: Once the flowers bloom, deadhead regularly to encourage new growth. After flowering, allow the foliage to die back naturally, as it helps nourish the bulbs for future growth.
