Glads growing in garage
Comments (4)Ok, so I managed to get the glads planted this past weekend. Was actually sunny and mid 60's, so nice day to do it. Also had about 15-20 daffodils in the garage as well that were just bulbs in a container with no dirt but were sprouting like mad. I had dug a bunch up last fall and split them up as they were overcrowding, but didn't replant all of them, close to 100 altogether. These were the ones I didn't get to....See MoreTips on Growing Glads
Comments (8)Wish I could grow lilies of any kind and not just to help support glads. Deer nip flowers off an entire stand in one night. A neighbor had them interplanted with Pachysandra and they're were gorgeous. I mean about 100 lilies. Gone in one night. They're coming up again this year and everyone is just waiting for them to bloom as they're stunning but it's painful to see them all gone one morning as we drive by....See MoreCan I Grow Gladiolus and Other Full Sun Bulbs as Shade Annuals
Comments (6)With your conditions - I just wouldn't spend the bucks with mail order (I'm not a believer that the only good bulb/corm is one ordered from a catalog - sorry). Especially when it comes to glads. I grow them off and on (but in full sun) and buy a package of the GRANDIFLORAS - which the package will clearly state. What may appear to be small corms produce large plants with a large heavy stalk of florets . And I buy them at Home Depot, Lowes, Walmart, Menards, wherever I see them. They generally have both mixes and boxes with one color. And I throw them out in the fall and buy new corms when wanted - because of all the bulbs/corms you can buy these are cheap, cheap, cheap and have always been reliable....See Moreglad cormlets, what do i do with them?
Comments (1)Take them off and just plant them rowed out in the back corner or some such place next spring. In a year or two at most they also will be blooming size corms. You can try to keep sorted by variety or mix them all. Such a mix makes a nice feed for a cutting patch when they get blooming size. George...See Moresaldut
