Gladiolus

I bought 7 bulbs at the Dollar Store, ha ha, so I hope they work. What size container could I,put them in? How deep should it be, diametre, etc.

Thx

Re: Gladiolus

Plant corms 3" deep, with plenty of drainage, keep moist but don't over water or the corms will rot. Keep in a sunny position.
Good luck

Re: Gladiolus

I've given up on these. I planted some gladioli 2 years running, one year I got five and the year after there were three out of originally planting a dozen corms. I love them, though, especially the deep red ones.
Good Luck, I hope you have a good show!!

Re: Gladiolus

Thanks for the input! Well if they don't work I've only lost $2-$3.
Hope they do come up as I chose a bag with different shades of pastels.

Re: Gladiolus

You should lift them in the Autumn and replant in Spring they don't stand you to frosts if you leave them in the ground.

Re: Gladiolus

Perhaps that's where I went wrong, Sue.....may try again but too late this year.
