Question:
I planted 30or 40 gladiola bulbs in late may most have grown to a decent height not one has flowered I have fed and watered regular to no avail should I forget about them and dig them up or is there hope yet thanks for any tips
Answer:
Gladiola corms should be planted between March and May so yours were planted at the latest possible for flowering this year. However, they can flower up to the end of September so you may still get some this year. I leave my bulbs in over the winter, covering with a good layer of mulch. They have just started to flower this last week so you should get earlier flowers next year.
