The Cimarosa gladiolus belongs to the group of Large-flowered gladioli. Flowers of this noble cultivar takes on a usual, bilaterian shape. The oval petals of the Cimarosa gladiolus are light pink. A subtly darker stripe can be observed at the lower middle petal. The unbranched stem, thicker at the base, is surrounded by sword-shaped leaves that gave the plant its Latin name (gladiolus meaning sword in Latin). Plant this plant at sites exposed to sunlight and sheltered from wind at the same time. Southern exposure in secluded garden corners works best for them.

We recommend planting bulbs every two weeks, in batches, starting mid-April to mid-May. This method allows to extend the flowering period and adorn your garden with gladioli for a much longer time then in case of one-time planting. Gladioli prefer soils that are rich in nutrients, fertilized, and permeable. Plant bulbs eight to ten centimetres deep, 15 to 20 centimetres apart. Water gladioli regularly during the phase of intensive growth. Heavy inflorescences might require tying up (staking) or using other supports.

Gladioli do not winter in the ground. You should dig out the corms about four weeks after the end of the flowering period when the plants have finished their life cycle. Let the bulbs dry a bit, remove green plant rests. Store gladioli bulbs prepared that way in an airy place secured from frost.
