Gladiolus Wildcat Per 6 14+ Cm Corms
Wildcat is the perfect, easy to grow cut flower, and a magnificent accent for the summer garden. The sword-like foliage and tall impressive flower spikes, make a striking accent in the mixed flower border. For best garden effect, plant in groups of six or more of a single color, or grow dozens of them in a bed reserved for cutting.
How to Grow Gladiolus: Plant in well-drained soil in full sun 4-6" deep and in tight groups 2-4" apart, and protect from wind if possible. For extended bloom time, plant corms at two week intervals starting in early spring until the end of June. Cut stems for cut flowers when 1/3 of the blooms are open. Hardy in zones 8-11; elsewhere treat as an annual, or dig them in the fall and store over winter.
NOMENCLATURE NOTES: The name "gladiolus" is derived from the Latin word gladius, meaning "sword," for the shape of its leaves. An ancient name for the gladiolus was "xiphium," from the Greek word xiphos, also meaning sword. The gladiolus flower is the birth flower for August; it also represented the Roman gladiators.
