Garden Gladiolus 'Old Spice'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Old Spice is thought of as half hardy, so remember to protect this plant from frosts and low temperatures. Old Spice requires a soil ph of 6.7 - 7.0 meaning it does best in weakly acidic soil - neutral soil.

Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 7.02 inches (18.0 cm) and sow at a depth of around 4.29 inches (11.0 cm).

Ensure that temperatures are mild (minimum night temperatures should be around 2°C / 36°F) and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Old Spice is a half hardy plant.

Expect harvests to start to occur in mid summer.
