how to treat gladiola
I have just had to dig up my gladiola, even though they were still very
green. What should I do now? Dry them off like onions and then trim off the growth? Also there are loads of tiny corms(?) can these be grown on? TIA |

You say you 'had' to dig them up? I leave mine in all year and find that is the best way to look after them. Maybe you are in a colder area than the south west |

Also there are loads of tiny corms(?) can these be grown on? Had to dig them up? If you wanted to plant something else in the same spot, then fair enoughski, but otherwise do you need to bother? My Glads stay right where they are all year round and are doing fine - so much so, that some time I will have to thin them out a bit. Location is a draughty front-of-garden spot in sunny West Yorkshire. Some of mine were still rather green this year, (chopped 'em down today), which is a bit unusual. Rick |
