The Firecracker gladiolus introduces tall and vigorous plants with green leaves and lively coloured buds. The richness of fiery red flowers will spice up summer months in the garden and fill it with colour. Tall, dense clusters of flowers are clearly visible among other plants. Frizzled and waved petals of this variety only add to its wild charm. Gladioli help you mask garden deficiencies and faults with their erect and tall growth form. Florists love that variety. They consider it a great material for lush bouquets and other festive arrangements. The fiery Firecracker gladiolus grows 90 to 100 centimetres tall. Its frilled flowers emerge in from July to September.

Tall gladioli will produce nicely shaped thick buds on a sight with exposure to sunlight. This place should also be warm and protected from wind. Planting of gladioli corms shall begin in spring, end of April/beginning of May. Place them in permeable, light, sandy-loam, moderately moist soil. Planting depth should not exceed 10 centimetres apart from sandy spots. Keep the spacings between plants from 12 to 15 centimetres wide. 30 to 45 days after the end of the flowering season bulbs must be removed from borders as they are not frost sensitive. Dried, clean bulbs should be kept in meshy airy baskets inside. Temperatures between 5 and 8 degrees Celsius ensure best conditions for wintering gladioli.
