This is a good point. I plant my glads in a bed with peony tulips and
sometimes sunflowers. Makes quite a stunning display. I do have to dig
them up in the fall though as I'm only in zone 3 at best. Most times, over
wintering works but not always.

Didn't say to plant gladiolus with ground cover. It would create a
problem
when you dig up the corms in the autumn. Its okay to plant annuals and
perennials around where you put the gladiolus corms not directly over
them.

thank you for the clarification...is it OK to plant a ground cover or
some other low growing plant over the bulbs so when the gladiolus die
back the area is not bare? just want to make sure the plants are not
competing with each other.
