It must be my age
"Jaques d'Alltrades" wrote in message ... The message from "Mary Fisher" contains these words: Glads here in USDA zone 7b (average lowest temperature 5-10F [-15 to -10C]) are marginal for survival. Some years, plants come back; other times they disappear. Or maybe a squirrel ate them. I'd definitely toss the eggs. I don't know why anyone wants gladioli anyway ... I don't know how anyone could eat an egg.... At least you can toss gladioli to the 'possums. Only if you have them !

..uk The message from Sacha contains these words: Mary Fisher12/2/04 11:47 I don't know why anyone wants gladioli anyway ... Oh? Well, different tastes and all that. Personally, I find Gladiolus papillo absolutely enchanting. Snap :-) The airy delicate flowers are white, with a chocolate-purple stain in the centre and fabulous scent. A million miles from those heavy, gawky garish things you might throw at Dame Edna Everage. Our previous garden was so cold I only dared grow papilio in pots in the conservatory. Last summer, for the first time ever, I planted them direct in the garden and they flowered in autumn. They make a lovely cut flower too. Autumn was so mild that the leaves were still green by Christmas, so I just left them in the ground, piled on some mulch and will see if they survived. If not, they are so cheap I'll just get another batch .(GC's, B and Q etc usually sell them in packets of 25 corms for £2-ish, round about now). Janet. They bulk up quickly, too. -- Sacha (remove the weeds to email me) |

Approximately when would you recommend planting them directly in the open high in the Yorkshire Dales? Franz |
