FAQs

<h2>FAQs: Hybrid Gladiolus Bulb Mix</h2>

<ul>
<li>
<strong>1. How do I plant Hybrid Gladiolus bulbs for the best blooms?</strong><br>
Plant bulbs about 4 inches deep and 6 inches apart in well-draining soil with full sun exposure. For continuous color, stagger plantings every two weeks from early spring through late June. This spacing gives you an ongoing show of tall, vibrant blooms all summer long.
</li>

<li>
<strong>2. Can I grow Gladiolus in containers or indoors?</strong><br>
Yes, Gladiolus can thrive in large containers as long as they have full sun and good drainage. Just be sure the container is deep enough to support the tall spikes. While not ideal as indoor plants long-term, you can start them indoors or use them for cut flower arrangements once they bloom.
</li>

<li>
<strong>3. Do I need to stake Gladiolus plants?</strong><br>
Most likely, yes. Their tall flower spikes can become top-heavy, especially in windy areas. Use stakes or plant them in groups so they can support each other and maintain their upright look in the garden.
</li>

<li>
<strong>4. When will my Gladiolus bulbs bloom?</strong><br>
Typically, Gladiolus bloom 8 to 12 weeks after planting. By staggering your planting every two weeks, you can enjoy a rolling display of color throughout summer.
</li>

<li>
<strong>5. Do Gladiolus bulbs come back every year?</strong><br>
Gladiolus are tender perennials. In warmer zones (USDA 8-10), you can leave them in the ground over winter. In colder areas, dig them up after the first frost, dry them, and store them indoors to replant next season.
