I bought some gladiolus bulbs on clearance sale.Should I plant them now , in the fall or wait until next year?
Question:
Answers:
Plant them now!! Water well. You may not get flowers this year, but if you get green stems, they will feed the bulbs for next year's flowers. When the stems turn brown, cut them off at ground level.
They usually should be planted in the spring. If you wait to next year the bulbs will be all dried out and will not grow!
In your area, you do not need to dig them up in the winter.
Good Luck!!
If you live in the Northren part of the U.S., you need to wait until next year. Plant them in late Spring/Early Summer and you will have beautiful flowers.
These bulbs have to dug each Fall. They will not withstand the harsh North Winters.
