- Gladiolus are one of my all time favourite old fashioned garden flowers! They grow from corms and prefer full sun and consistent water to help them reach their full beauty potential! Dig a trench or holes about 4 inches deep and plant corms sprout end facing up. You can space them 3 to 8 inches apart or in a cluster for a lovely display in your garden! If the flowers are top heavy when in full bloom, staking may be necessary. These old fashioned charmers also make beautiful cut flowers! Gladiolus corms are not winter hardy so they must be dug up, cured and stored in a cool dark place until you are ready to replant them the following year!
I just bought glad corms for the first time and this was very helpful. I didn't know the old corm would need to be removed so great info for me. Hope they do ok. I'm in a zone 3 and it'll be nip and tuck to see if I can get blooms before frost. I see someone who lives an hour south of me has them year after year so I'm hopeful.
Love the Goofy pup that thinks you are there to play. And I love the glads too. Such a gorgeous array of colors.
Good morning Alana. Great video. They are so beautiful when in bloom. Take care and have a blessed day and I'll see you on your next video.
Hi Billy...they certainly are! Such a lovely old fashioned flower that looks so pretty in a vase on the table too! Lots of pretty colours as well! Thank you for watching and I hope you have a great day! 🌺
Very interesting video! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much Remi! 🌻
Hi Alana another very informative video again thanks, i bet they smell amazing when they are in bloom, looks like you have planting a few things out in the veg plot, where having a bit of hot weather at the moment so loads of watering, but the vegetables are loving the weather and Sue's flowers 💐 look awesome, so nice to be in the garden at the moment,please take care and stay safe 👍 😊 .
Hi Kelvin! There really is nothing better than an English garden full of flowers and fresh veg! When I went there for a visit (I was in the area of York), the flowers were unbelievable ! I bet you and Sue have everything there looking like a post card! We are expecting a couple of hot days here shortly too...hopefully, that will make the gardens pop up even more! Take care and I hope you have a great day! 🌺🌻🥕🍅 P.S. my Mom's name was Sue 😊❤️
My first year trying glads. So far so good. No flowering stalks yet. Also zone5b 🇨🇦
Hi Jo-ann! I hope they turn out just lovely for you...they are such a pretty old fashioned flower! Thank you for watching and I hope you have a lovely day! 🌺
Also, it's ok to store different colors together? They don't bleed or revert to a standard color?
I’m in zone 8b, but if I leave my glad corms in the ground they generally rot because it’s to wet here throughout most of our fall and winter. I dig mine out and store them. Same with my dahlias.
Hi Judy! That is a really good point...I forgot about all of the moisture B.C gets! They would rot very quickly, wouldn't they?! I hope you are all doing well there...take care my friend and have a lovely day! 🌺
