Planting
Gloriosa
Plant in spring after the last frost.
If you cannot plant your bulbs and perennials right away, store them in a cool, dry, dark location, like a basement.
These bulbs need full sun and they do best in well-drained soil.
Plant the bulbs on their sides, 8 cm (3 in) deep and 30 to 35 cm (12 to 14 in) apart.
Gloriosa need support to grow. Growing them on an arbor or up a trellis, onto other shrubs, on a fence, or an obelisk, are all good choices.
Water thoroughly after planting.
Growing
Gloriosa
If early blooms are desired, pot up and start indoors up to six weeks ahead of last frost date.
Water as needed during active growth periods, but allow the soil to become dry between watering.
All-purpose garden fertilizer applied at the beginning and middle of the growing season is effective.
Care
Gloriosa
Gloriosa make excellent cut flowers with their unique shape.
Keep the plants healthy by removing dead flowers, leaves and stems.
Winterizing
Gloriosa
These bulbs are not winter hardy and need to be dug up after the first frost.
Store away from drafts at 16 °C to 20 °C (60 °F to 68 °F) in a paper bag or box filled with dry peat moss.
