If the seeds are in packages there should be specific directions on how deep the seeds should be planted. Most seeds should be planted no deeper than a half inch and often you would just barely cover them with soil. Gladiola bulbs should be planted 6 in deep. Larger bulbs (14cm) will produce stronger plants and larger flowers.
