How to grow Garden Gladiolus 'Orange Crush'

  • Full Sun

  • Medium

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Orange Crush is thought of as half hardy, so it will require protection in frosts and low temperatures. A soil ph of between 6.7 and 7.0 is ideal for Orange Crush as it does best in weakly acidic soil - neutral soil.

Growing Orange Crush from seed

Sow at a depth of approx. 4.29 inches (11.0 cm) and aim for a distance of at least 7.02 inches (18.0 cm) between Garden Gladiolus plants.

Transplanting Orange Crush

As Orange Crush 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.

Harvesting Orange Crush

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