You can start planting Glads in late April and 
real enthusiasts make several plantings up until July 
1st in order to have cut flowers for a long season. 
Plant the corms 5 to 6 inches deep and then draw 
the soil up around the stalks as they grow. This gives 
good support to the tall spikes so that they do not 
blow over in strong winds.
