In planting zone 5 do you really have to dig up the bulbs each
fall, store them, and then replant them the following spring?

I did a Google search and found the above info but I know that
what you read is nor always "carved in stone". In fact, it seems
like eveyone used to cover their rose bushes in the fall but now
very few, if any, individuals do in our area.

Hardy gladiolus can be left in the ground.

I think we will give it a shot and just leave them in over the
winter and see what we get the following spring. Heck, at $1.97
for 30 we don't have too much to lose. :-)

Get them out in autumn if you want them to live and plant them in
spring when ground temperature is 15 centigrades of celsius. Of
course there are various sorts of gladiolus, early, mid or late
(flower), the last we plant over here about 15. july.

15 centigrades of celsius?
