<h2>Fidelo Gladiolus Bulbs FAQs</h2> <h3>1. What makes Fidelo Gladiolus bulbs special?</h3> Fidelo Gladiolus bulbs produce stunning, tall spikes of pink-red flowers with a velvety texture, making them a showstopper in any garden or floral arrangement. These gladiolus are known for their bold color, long bloom time, and ease of care. They’re ideal for creating vertical interest in garden beds or as a striking cut flower. <h3>2. How do I plant Fidelo Gladiolus bulbs?</h3> Plant the bulbs in well-draining soil in a sunny location. Dig holes about 4–6 inches deep and space the bulbs 4-6 inches apart. Place the bulb with the pointed end facing up, cover with soil, and water thoroughly. For continuous blooms, stagger planting every two weeks during the growing season. <h3>3. When do Fidelo Gladiolus flowers bloom?</h3> Fidelo Gladiolus blooms typically appear 10–12 weeks after planting. They bloom from midsummer through early fall, depending on the planting time. To extend the blooming season, plant bulbs in intervals throughout spring and early summer. <h3>4. Can Fidelo Gladiolus bulbs be grown in containers?</h3> Yes, Fidelo Gladiolus can thrive in containers! Choose a pot at least 12 inches deep to accommodate their long stems and root system. Use lightweight, well-draining potting soil and ensure the pot has drainage holes. Containers are great for small spaces and can be moved indoors if there’s a risk of frost. <h3>5. How do I care for Fidelo Gladiolus after they bloom?</h3> After blooming, cut the flower stalks but leave the foliage intact. The leaves continue to photosynthesize and nourish the bulbs for next year’s growth. In colder climates (below zone 8), dig up the bulbs before the first frost, clean them, and store them in a cool, dry place for replanting in spring.
