Large tubers are planted deep at about 15 cm. The best method is to dig a hole with a depth corresponding to a three -time tuber height. It is also important to maintain a fifteen -centimeter distance between flowers. Plants must have enough space to fully develop. If we want a discount with swords to look impressive, it is worth planting Gladiola with different flowering time. Early varieties bloom after about 70 days from the moment of planting, medium -early after about 90 days, and late only after 110 days.
