Praha Gladiolus
In frost prone areas, dig them when the leaves turn yellow, dip them in a fungicide, and store in a dry frost free location over winter.
Increase water and fertility when flowers begin to develop, then plant 4" deep in clay soils, 6" deep in others; the deeper the planting the less need for staking.
Glads are easy to grow and like to be in full sun and in well drained soil.
Gladiolas are also commonly called Sword Lily or Corn Flag.
The Gladiolus Praha, 'Gladiolus Praha', a spring planted corm, exhibits magnificent orange colored flowers on tall stalks.
