Plant your bulbs 4 to 8 inches deep with the pointed end facing up. Space the corms 3 to 6 inches apart. Water the corms thoroughly.
Gladioli like well-drained, light soil and full sun.
It takes about 90 days from the time gladioli are planted to root, grow, bloom, and store enough energy for the next season.
