Free glads (photo attached)
Elizabeth, I have just one question: Will glads thrive when planted this
close together (see photo), as long as I'm willing to dig them up in the fall?? I thought they needed lots of individual space, but I'd be much more willing to deal with them if I could get away with putting them in beds!

Hi, Anyone who would like 5-6 dozen or so gladiolus bulbs and assorted other bulbs (separate and with labels), please send your mailing address offline and I will mail them to you. I don't have room for them this year. They grow up to 5' tall and need staking but make spectacular cut flowers (see photo). They were dug up last fall and stored in a dark, cool place. Elizabeth |

Hi Anne,
When I first bought them from Dutch Gardens, they came with instructions to plant 6" apart. I put them in my front flower bed, and they fell all over the place and looked horrible. The next couple years, I dug them up and replanted them in one of my raised beds, as shown in the photo. They were spaced only 3" apart and probably 8"-10" deep. Not only did they do just fine, but they didn't fall over as much. Plus, the dying foliage looks kind of bad when in the front yard in plain sight. And they like water, and I have irrigation in the beds but not the front yard. IMO, glads are best for cut flowers. E. "Anne Lurie" wrote in message . com...
