Planting and Growing Information
Plant Gladiolus 'Robinetta' corms 4-6 inches deep with the pointed end facing up, spacing them 6-8 inches apart in well-draining, fertile soil. This variety thrives in full sun locations receiving 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily. Hardy in USDA zones 7-10, the corms should be lifted in fall after the first frost in colder regions (zones 3-7), dried, and stored in a frost-free place over winter. For continuous blooms, recommend staggered planting every two weeks from spring through early summer.
