Gladiolus 'Atom'

Red -
254 EM

May, June

16-20 x 4-5 (40-50 x 10-12.5)

Dark Green and sword-shaped

It requires a bone dry dormancy in the summer. Superb in a pot in a frost-free greenhouse or sunny conservatory. Need a very well-drained compost, water once on planting and leave until shoots emerge, then water and feed regularly.

Set corms at least 4 inches deep, about 6-10 inches apart. In colder areas, corms best lifted after flowering. Dry and store in well-ventilated, warm place where temperature is about 11 Centigrade.

Gladiolus 'Carthago'

Red -
456 M

June, July, August

40 x 6
(100 x 15)

Green

Used for Exhibiting.

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.

Gladiolus 'Huron Jewel'

Red -
356 M

August

28-30 x (70-75 x )

Green

Nice clean foliage, healthy and very good propagator. Makes top quality show spikes, performs well as a cut flower and would be really sharp in the garden

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.

LIFE IN THE 1500'S in England:-
Those with money had plates made of pewter. Food with high acid content caused some of the lead to leach onto the food, causing lead poisoning death. This happened most often with tomatoes, so for the next 400 years or so, tomatoes were considered poisonous.
