Garden Gladiolus 'Apricot Lustre'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Apricot Lustre is thought of as half hardy, so although it can survive a small mild cold snap, it is wise to ensure that this plant is protected from frost damage. A soil ph of between 6.7 and 7.0 is ideal for Apricot Lustre as it does best in weakly acidic soil - neutral soil.

Sow 4.29 inches (11.0 cm) deep with a guideline distance of 7.02 inches (18.0 cm).

As Apricot Lustre is half hardy, ensure temperatures are mild enough to plant out (around 2°C / 36°F as a guideline) - wait until after your last frost date to be on the safe side.

This variety tends to be ready for harvesting by mid summer.
