{"product_id":"gladiolus-bulbs","title":"Gladiolus Bulbs","description":"\u003cp\u003eBuy gladiolus bulbs online in Pakistan and choose your colour. Gladiolus corms send up the tallest flower spike in the garden — 90 to 120 cm of tightly ranked blooms opening from the bottom up over a fortnight. It is the cut flower of Pakistani weddings and shrine garlands for good reason: nothing else gives that much height and presence from a single corm, and a spike cut in bud will open steadily in the vase for two weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eColours Available\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePeach, white, white with a pink edge, orange, pink, yellow, red and purple — each sold separately, so you can plant a single colour block or mix your own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGrowing Guide for Pakistan\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant:\u003c\/strong\u003e September to November in the plains for winter and early spring flowering.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDepth and spacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10–12 cm deep, 15 cm apart.

The rest will open in the vase over the following ten to fourteen days.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDo they really need staking?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, once the spike is heavy with buds. A metre-tall gladiolus will lean or snap in the first strong wind without support.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I get flowers over a longer period?\u003c\/strong\u003e Plant in succession — a new batch every two weeks. All corms planted on one day will flower within the same fortnight.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWill they come back next year?\u003c\/strong\u003e Lift the corms once the foliage has yellowed, dry them well and store them cool and airy. Each corm also produces small offsets you can grow on.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAre these bulbs or seeds?\u003c\/strong\u003e These are living bulbs, corms or tubers — not seed. They flower in their first season, months sooner than the same plant grown from seed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHow should I store them before planting?\u003c\/strong\u003e Somewhere cool, dry and dark with air around them. A paper bag in a cupboard is ideal; a sealed plastic bag is not, because trapped moisture causes rot.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eNew to bulbs?
