Love these instruction videos very helpful. I think Jeff Turner is a great presenter knowledgeable and inspiring, he's right parkers products are quality top notch 👍
I had a bed of glads in a rented house, they were gorgeous. Medium pink and white peppermint striped...spectacular. I have been looking, but never found them again, looking for 30 years....
Hello, from hardiness zone 8. I planted some glads the week before Valentine’s. To get enough chill hours in for stronger, taller plants. I’ve been planting some summer bulbs like Asiatic Lilies and Glads in February. Now it’s the first week of March and shoots are already starting to come up. Hope the leaves are somewhat frost resistant since the temperature is to be in the 20’s later on. Gardening can be risk-taking. Have a nice day.🌸
Hi there, Asiatic lilies are quite tolerable to lower temperatures but Gladioli are very susceptible to frost so make sure to protect them with mulch. Hope this helps, good luck with your lovely flowers!
Hi, I'm afraid we can only ship to post codes within the United Kingdom. If you have any friends over here whom you could ask to forward them on, we can ship to them, but otherwise I'm sorry to say we can't! Sorry about that, but thanks for getting in touch and for your comments!
Hello, I bought a large order of various plants including Glads from your online website & they arrived today. Just wondering shall I pot them up now or is it too early?? Also I got another lot from Parkers in September & December & have had lovely results with those! Thank you so much, Nora
Hi Nora, I would recommend waiting until the frost has passed. You can store them in cardboard boxes with newspaper in between the layers or store them in onion bags/paper bag/cloth bag. Keep them in a cool dry space like a basement/garage or vegetable bin in your fridge and wait to plant them out in the spring. I hope this helps! Thanks, Shannen.
Great video Jeff! I have a query: I planted gladioli in mum's garden last year. They came up beautifully. They were doing well again this year until 3 days ago - they were about a foot tall when they were cut down to within an inch of the ground by a lawn mower (my mum had paid for a gardner to mow the lawn and he pushed the mower over half the flower beds too...). Will they recover? If not this year, then next year? Or should I just dig the bulbs up and throw them away?
How do you keep them from drooping over when in bloom? Ive seen more than just mine droopinv over...and was curious about how to prevent this? Thanks, God bless!
Hi, thanks for your question! Drooping is the result of disease to the plant. You can prevent this by providing excellent care such as grow them in areas of the home garden that offer full sunlight; greater sun exposure results in stronger growth, and maintaining moist, well-draining soil high in organic content.
Hi there, do you have them planted against a wall? As they grow, they will use the wall for support. However, you can stake the stems as they reach approx 2ft tall and attach the stake to the stem with a length of twine 4 inches long from the ground. Tie another length of twine around the stake and the stem 18 inches from the ground. Thanks for your question!
Thanks' for confirming that Dame Edna is a woman Jeff. My rude and ungratefull grandchildren keep trying to convince me she's a man. I've never heard such rubbish!

Thanks🙂. Now that I know that glads are more frost tender than lilies. I'm going to 🍂mulch today. Take care!
.. And rightly so, you can't beat the classics! Thanks again for the feedback!
Enjoyed your video and can hardly wait until I can get my gladiolus planted in our yard. Looking forward to their beauty.
Great to hear, thanks for the comment! We can't wait either, let us know how you get on!

I can see these used in modern plantings too, some stunning colours. My question is when do you plant them, what time of year?

Hi there, If the leaves have been cut all the way down, they may not come back as the leaves store all the nutrients for next year's blooms.

love this video great demontration;))
Do you ship bulbs overseas? I live in the United States. You have some really pretty bicolor ones, also do you have any of the fragrant species types?
Sir please let me know if you have any bulbs which I can buy from you?
Hi there, there are links to our retail website in the description of the video if you would like to browse our range of bulbs.
thankyou for the video :)
I planted some and the leaves are falling over :(

@@JParkersBulbs Thank you for the advice. I will have to do that. They're in a flower pot and not against the wall.
