Gladioli Breezer

Breezer can produce rewarding results with little effort. Flevo Gladioli are slightly smaller growing than their larger cousins, but no less beautiful; they are unsurpassed with their striking colour combinations make a real statement in most gardens. These summer flowering corms produce slender stems ranging from 70 – 100 cm high.
All Fiesta’s Gladioli are grown, processed, graded and cured to export quality. They are available from between July and September from us but can be planted right through to December.

Plant your corms in full sun and in well-drained soil about 6 – 8 cm deep and 12 – 15 cm apart.  If soil is heavy mound it up so that excess water will run off from around the area were the corm has been planted.  Protect them from strong winds by either planting in a shelter spot or supporting them with a growth support system. Insects and fungi can attack these plants so it is advisable to spray about every 2 – 3 weeks with an insecticide and fungicide to keep your plants looking their best.
Gladioli can be timed to flower any time during summer simply by planting about 90 days before you require them to be in flower, but avoid planting until the danger of frosts have passed. You can also use this timing to create a long lasting display with stagger planting.
The blooms can be removed when they have begun to fade but leave the foliage until it has died down. Lift the corms in autumn and store in a cool, dark place with plenty of air movement until July - August then plant out again in the normal way. Dig in “Fiesta Bulb Food” at every planting season and give a side dressing as stems emerge to provide the best blooms.
