"Gladioli 'Espresso' is a true summer bloomer that can flower as late as autumn. This richly flowering, large-flowered gladiolus grows to about 130 cm. and is also a wonderful cut flower. So be sure to plant a row of gladioli in your cut flower garden. Moreover, Gladiolus ''Espresso'' is very richly flowering and should not be missing in your summer flower garden. Gladioli tubers can be planted about 7-10 cm deep in spring. First loosen the soil well and sprinkle a layer of sharp sand at the bottom of the planting hole. This allows rainwater to drain well under the tubers. Place the tubers about 10-12 cm apart. While planting, add some good potting soil. Mix heavy (clay) soil with sharp sand before planting. This large-flowered gladiolus likes to grow in a warm sunny spot. This large-flowered gladiolus has a beautiful colour and is therefore easy to combine. You can create special combinations with it in the border with tall perennials and dahlias. Preferably plant gladioli in a different spot every year. Do you use gladioli as cut flowers? If so, pick the stems when the bottom flower opens, preferably early in the morning. Place the stems immediately in a vase of lukewarm water with cut flower food."
