About Gladiolus Botswana

The large flowering Gladiolus Botswana blends candied citrus tones with vibrant orange and lemon-yellow hues, igniting a bold, tropical essence in your summer garden.

The striking 4-inch (10 cm) florets, numbering a dozen or more, elegantly adorn strong, towering 5 foot stems and pointed sword-like leaves. Gladioli, commonly known as 'Glads', create a striking focal point in flower borders and containers, captivating both butterflies and hummingbirds. To enjoy the blooms for many weeks through July and August, plant corms at two week intervals from early spring until the end of June.

With a long vase life, Glads make for excellent cut flowers, adding vertical intrigue to indoor arrangement. Pair with red- or orange-flowering Dahlias or Canna Lilies for a striking impact.

How to Grow Gladiolus

Planting Gladiolus

  • 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.
  • Plant them with the pointy end up in a sunny to semi-shaded area about 13 cm (5 in) deep and 13 to 15 cm (5 to 6 in) apart.
  • Water thoroughly after planting.

Growing Gladiolus

  • Plant Gladioli at biweekly intervals for continuous colour.
  • These bulbs do best in well-drained soil.
  • Gladioli will bloom in 60 to 80 days.
  • Shelter from strong winds.

Gladiolus Care

  • These bulbs are very easy and do not need much fertilizer.
  • Gladioli bloom from the bottom up and they last a long time, about 2 weeks.
  • Stake taller varieties.

Winterizing Gladiolus

  • These bulbs are not winter hardy and need to be dug up after the first frost.
  • Do not wash but dry the bulbs for a day.
  • After you dry the bulbs, place in a paper bag.
  • Store them in a dark and cool location.
