am are one of the showiest and most versatile flowers that can be grown in the home garden Displayed either as a single spike or a basket they make a wonder ful show when in bloom They will perform well In almost any soil and because they are treated as an annual they can be grown successfully In almost any climate While glads are not too particular as to soil type they will not perform well in poorly drained locations Excess moisture around the either stunts their growth or rots them out completely So be sure the site is well drained Glads also prefer a soil that Is high in organic matter This can easily be provided by the addition of manure compost or peat moos to the soil before planting Gladiolus arc best planted In rows In the garden where they can be tended for Insect and disease control and staked as needed a space in the vegetable garden where they will be much easier to work with Some gardeners are tempted to grow them In the flower or shrub border However as glads are best used as a cut flower their use In the border Is not satisfactory
