Bulb Index: G Page 2 for Gladiolus

The 10,000 cultivars are classified into 3 major groups: they are Nanus, Primulinus and Grandiflorus:-

• Hybrids and cultivars in the group of Nanus bloom in early summer with two/three 22 to 35 cm spikes per corm, the spike each bearing 3 to 5 open flowers at a time.

• Those in the group of Primulinus bloom in midsummer with a single very slender 30 to 60 cm stem per corm, the stem bears 20 buds with up to 7 open at a time.

• Cultivars and hybrids from the Grandiflorus group bloom from late spring through autumn with as many as 28 buds on (usually) a single spike of usually 35 to 90 cm tall, dozen of flowers may be open at a time. Gladioli of the Grandiflorus group are classified further by flower size and color in an elaborate trinomial system, with first digit indicating size, the second indicating color and the third intensity of color. The largest Grandiflorus cultivars can get up to 1.7 metre tall, while some miniatures do not reach 90 cm in height.

For Gladiolus in The British Gladiolus Classification System, the following applies:-
"As far as the early, mid and late season bit goes it refers to an average flowering time and is very dependent on the weather and location rather than the flowering months and for the ones we are talking about ie Exhibition types we would not really be wanting blooms before the end of July so the timings below are based on planting made from April through to early June, Usually the number of days above from a May planting in the ground the flower will actually open all of its florets but those at the base need to be removed as they die otherwise they may start to set seed pods which will take energy from the florets higher up. Usually its about 14 days from the first floret opening to when the last is out on that flower spike" from Nigel Coe.
which is described in the left hand column, 3 rows down.

From the British Gladiolus Society:-

"ALL ABOUT CLASSIFICATION OF GLADIOLUS.

For anyone interested in the Gladiolus, and particularly for those of you interested in attending and competing in Gladiolus classes in shows, you should try and acquaint yourself with the world-wide classification codes. All codes consist of 3 digits, the first of which specifies the diameter of the fully developed bottom floret of the spike, thus:-

The second digit denotes colour (i.e. green, yellow, orange etc, 0-9) and the third digit denotes the "strength" or hue of that colour. Second digits may be (0) = Pale, (2) = Light, (4) = Medium, (6) = Deep and (8) = Very Deep. Notice that the third digits are all even numbers: even numbers indicate that the colour is without any conspicuous markings present, whereas by increasing the number by 1 to make it an odd number signifies that conspicuous markings are present. For example, Doris Darling 442 is a large flowered pale Pink bloom without distinctive markings whereas Pink Elegance 443 is a large flowered pale pink with a distinctive mark, in this case a white throat. The table below indicates how the second and third digits in the classification are used.

So to summarize, all you need to do to become reasonably proficient at recognising Gladiolus codes is to learn the floret width codes (1-5, narrowest to widest) denoted by the first digit (see table above), and below, the second digit COLOUR codes (0-9) and the third digit COLOUR STRENGTH code (0-8). Don't forget that if the third code digit is an odd number it means that the floret has distinctive markings.

Nigel Coe from the British Gladioli Society has kindly let me use his photos. There are more than 600 Classified Code Gladioli in the list from the British Gladiolus Society and over 2500 in the classified list from the North American Gladiolus Council. This gallery and the other Gladioli galleries in this website were set up to detail and compare all those Gladioli.
"GLADIOLUS CAN GET BUGGED  

Thrips are one of the most damaging insects to glads, especially in the summer. Look for silvery flecks on the foliage and silver or brown blemishes on the flowers and buds. You may also see their black droppings on the leaves.
These tiny (less than 1/20th of an inch - about 1 mm - long) creatures scrape away the plant tissue, suck the juice and lay their eggs inside. Control thrips with a blast of water from the hose or insecticidal soap. Healthy plants can outgrow thrip damage." from Fred Hoffman in the USA.

"Transplanting Gladiolus
This section is created keeping in mind all those people who want to know how to transplant gladiolus in the right manner. People who have gladiolus at home must have noticed that this plant starts flowering by mid-summer and continues to bloom till frost appears in the winter months. Transplanting involves shifting of a plant from one place to the other. A gladiolus can be transplanted by relocating the corm to a relatively suitable place in a stepwise manner.

• Step 1: Identify a place in your garden which receives a lot of sunlight and is well-drained to meet the requirements of the plant.

• Step 2: A sufficient amount of mulch in the soil is necessary to keep the weeds away and maintain moisture content in the soil. So, place a layer of mulch on top of the soil where gladiolus will be transplanted.

• Step 3: To prepare the corms or gladiolus bulbs for transplantation, place them in a shallow dish containing water filled up to a quarter-inch (6 mm) of the dish.

• Step 4: Keep this dish in a place which receives adequate filtered sunlight which will trigger the corm to start germinating.

• Step 5: When the germinating tip is about 5 inches (12.5 cms) long, it's time to transplant the corms in the soil. Dig holes about 8 inches (20 cms) deep and place a corm gently in the hole. Make sure to keep the growing tip upwards to facilitate further growth and cover the corm completely with soil.

• Step 6: If the growing tip is less than 5 inches (12.5 cms), bury it completely within the soil but take care to cause no harm to the tip. If many corms are to be transplanted, place each of them 5 inches (12.5 cms) apart so that each one of them gets sufficient area for growth and there is no quest for nutrients and growing space.

• Step 7: After all the corms are transplanted, water the area sufficiently so as to maintain a well-drained soil. Regular watering of the corms and adequate sunlight will help the corms to grow into plants capable of producing beautiful, vibrant flowers.

Well-drained Sand or Chalk with Humus (Apply 4 inch deep mulch with mown autumn leaves and grass by each December, mix that mulch in with the top 9 inches of soil before replanting in April/May after last expected frost - further cultivation details in the Introduction Page). Can be planted in Clay using Dombrain's method to prevent rotting of the corm. You can also drop a mothball in each bag of gladiolus to deter mice and kill overwintering thrips." from Gardeners Supply Plant Care & Gardening.

Foliage Colour with Foliage Thumbnail - Green

Bulb Use -
Striking - Upright - accent plant among summer-flowering annuals and usefull addition to perennial borders - Speciman.

Very good container plants, but take care when selecting container as plants can become quite top heavy when in full bloom - Patio Pot.

Cut flowers will last long time in floral arrangements; cut as soon as first buds show colour with own foliage acting as complement to flowers. Cut or remove the flower stalk just below the first Sword-shaped leaf so the remaining 2 or 3 leaves can replenish the corm for next season’s blooms. - Cut Flower.

The flowers of gladioli are Funnel-shaped and slightly irregular, borne on a Spike, which is often one-sided so that the flowers all face in one direction.

Many can be used as Houseplants inside by the window or in Windowboxes outside.

Comments - In temperate zones, the corms of most species and hybrids should be lifted 4-6 weeks after flowering and stored over winter in a well-ventilated, warm place where the temperature is in 50 degrees Fahrenheit range, then replanted after the deciduous trees are well into leaf in the late Spring. Set corms at 6 inches (15 cms) deep and 6 inches (15 cms) apart.
Can be planted anytime of the year as long as frost is not likely, allowing several crops or seasons of flowers to be had by successive plantings. Flower in about 80-90 days.
It is advisable to do the following in the UK:-
Set corms at 4 inches (10 cms) deep and 4 inches (10 cms) apart in March-June for flowers from July-August.
Flower in about 80-90 days. It is better not to plant these outside after June in the UK, since it would flower at the earliest in September and the latest is October; when it becomes cold and the first frost arrives - see question to Shoot.
R.V. Roger from England despatch these between August and September, so grow inside in a deep pot for flowering in the autumn, before putting the contents of the pot in the garden in April/May so that it can flower at its usual time in the summer.
Some species from Europe and high altitudes in Africa, as well as the small 'Nanus' hybrids, are much hardier (to at least -15°F/-26°C) and can be left in the ground in regions with sufficiently dry winters.

Some species from Europe and high altitudes in Africa, as well as the small 'Nanus' hybrids, are much hardier (to at least -15°F/-26°C) and can be left in the ground in regions with sufficiently dry winters.
Plants are propagated either from small cormlets produced as offsets by the parent corms, or from seed; in either case, they take several years to get to flowering size.
Clumps should be dug up and divided every few years to keep them vigorous.

Excellent combinations have been made with roses and gladioli. The June-flowering roses are best for this purpose, since they are entirely out of season when the gladiolus is at its best.

"Where the plants are to tower above a groundwork of other material such as Antirrhinums, 12 inches (30 cm) each way is the most satisfactory distance. Gladioli utilised in this way give a wonderful effect, especially if a ground plant of a complimentary colour is chosen. For example, yellow Antirrhinums and blue Gladioli, scarlet Antirrhinums and white Gladioli, and vice versa. The Antirrhinums hide the stiff stems of the Gladioli, and the massive blooms of the latter break up the level monotony of the Antirrhinums.
When planting Gladioli, no matter how well drained the soil may be, I consider it absolutely essential to place a good handful of coarse silver sand under each corm. Attention to this detail has frequently ensured for me an unqualified success in ground where my predecessors had met with absolute failure.
Gladioli are equally adaptable for culture indoors. The early varieties should be potted in October, the later sorts in March, in a compost consisting of 2 parts loam, 1 part well decayed manure and river sand, and placed in a cold frame until the flower spikes show, when they may be removed to a greenhouse or window. The corms of the early varieties being small may be placed 5 in a 6 inch (15 cm) pot, while the later varieties, which are of large size, may be placed 3 in an 8 inch (20 cm) pot.
Gladioli are quite amenable to forcing, especially the early flowering varieties.
All Gladioli, whether outdoors or indoor, should be lifted as soon as the foliage turns yellow and hung up in some airy loft to dry. As soon as the foliage has quite withered the newly-formed corms should be detached from the old spent ones, and stored away in some dry frost-proof place until the next planting season comes round.
Gladioli may be propagated by means of seed which will flower in 3 years from the time of planting, or by growing on the tiny cormlets as if they were mature bulbs." from The Culture of Bulbs, Bulbous Plants and Tubers made Plain by Sir J.L. Cotter, Bart., F.R.H.S, F.N.C.S., N.R.S. Published by Hutchinson & Co. Probably originally published in the 1920's.

Pot, in October and November, 5 corms 1 inch (2.5 cms) deep in a 5 inch (12.5 cm) pot, using either a mixture of 2 parts loam and equal parts leaf-mould and coarse sand or John Innes potting compost. Thereafter keep in the cool dark or plunge until January, when they can be brought into a a moderate temperature.
Water freely up to flowering and reduce as foliage dies, at which time the corms can be lifted and stored till the following November. Gladioli will do best if kept continually moist.
Fertilisers. Water in a complete fertiliser as soon as the flower buds appear, and continue this each fortnight until the flowers die.

Deep Magenta - x56

June, July

36 x 12
(90 x 30)

Well-drained Sand, Chalk
Full Sun
Dry - but do not allow soils to dry out during the growing season

Narrow sword-shaped basal mid green leaves in a fan of 3-5.

Use in middle of suuny bed, hedgerows, cottage garden. Plants will naturalize in the garden over time by cormlets and self-seeding.

It tucks into many border positions where it will not get in the way after flowering, for example up against a group of border phloxes, which will later cover its position. Looks splendid with red clover and contrasting with the many yellows of that season, buttercups, and hawk-bits and -beards and the like in the meadow community. Good with Centaurea cyanus and Papaver rhoes 'Shirley'.

It is fully hardy but does not like wet winters. Mulch in winter with hay/straw or evergreen boughs. Weed in Australia. When foliage of any gladioli goes yellow, remove corm from pot or ground to dry before planting later in the year

Antanas Markevieius from Lithuania has kindly allowed me to use the photos from www.geles.biz, where he sells some Russian varieties as well as his own. If you want to buy the corms to grow in Lithuania or for export to your garden in your country, please contact him prior to middle of November each year. Lithuania became independent from Russia on 11 March 1990. The gladioli that he has registered with the North American Gladiolus Council are listed and linked to his website in the Cultivar from Russia / Lithuania Page. Gladiolus 'Assol' is sold in the USA and from Lithuania.

Flevo Smile classified 215M usually flowers in August from a May planting. The flower will actually open all of its florets but those at the base need to be removed as they die; otherwise they may start to set seed pods which will take energy from the florets higher up. Usually, its about 14 days from the first floret opening to when the last is out.
"150 grammes/litre of Salicylic Acid treatment creates the most effective delay of petal senescence on vase life of cut gladiolus flowers" from African Journal of Agricultural Research Vol. 7(4), pp. 540-545, 26 January, 2012. Gladioli wet packed with sucrose increases floret display and vase life during storage and transportation of cut flowers - See Gladiolus 'Sylvia'.
With the arrival of winter, the flowers of gladiolus plant begin to dry out and shed off. If you want to keep the plant in safe custody over the winter months, wait until all the flowers have dried out. With the help of a trowel, dig out the corms from the soil. Remove excess soil from the corms and place them in a paper bag. Secure this bag in a cool and dry place during the winter months, so as to keep the corms safely for re-transplanting during spring. With the arrival of spring, use the method given above to transplant the corms back to the soil so that they can bloom again." from Buzzle.com.
