Gladioli bloom time may be staggered throughout the summer by succession planting. Plant the first batch of corms up to a month before your area's last frost date, then plant every two weeks until the end of July.

The best thing to do is to plant 40 watt, 60 watt and 100 watt bulbs and then they grow at different rates cheers.
