Overwintering Gladiola Bulbs

I'll show you how I store gladiola bulbs / corms for winter. I love gladiolus and they are so easy to keep from year to year.

This video made the task seem less daunting than others. Super informative yet not intimidating. Thank you!

This video is wonderful. It sounds so easy this way. I just need to get a couple boxes for my different colors, and some sand! I had SO many bulbs morph into 2 full bulbs that I'm hoping I won't have to buy any next year, if I can keep these over winter. Thanks😉

[christinespragg]

Thank you, concise info without having to read a whole gardening book 😊

[MrCatticus]

Thank you so much! This was my first year ever to plant glads they came up beautifully! But I didnt know what to do in the fall or if they were just annuals.
Now I know what to do. Thank you so much.

Thanks for the great information. I know your bulb gets more energy for healthier plants the next year so you ought to allow the stems to dry out some if possible. Once the green is gone your bulb can no longer store energy and then is the ideal time to dig them up weather permitting.

Love the video- I always love learning something new!

It's better to leave them for a week or two with their leaves on until they turn brown before cutting them off, that way the bulb has more energy for the next year.

Thank you for very good informative video.

Have you ever had 2 stems come out of 1 corm/stalk? Not a corm that had divided? I have. I've been growing glads for 57 yrs and this year was the 1st time I've ever seen this! I was amazed!🤔😯

Nice I did too and some leave it and they comeback and blooms

[williamfmatthews]

I wait ten days to remove the old corm.

[frankiemeyer]

That nice I never have done this before I used plant 6 inches deep and it came back few year all was jumbo bulb and live 10 below zero f in winter they come back in may for me and blooms and grew too tall and flower stalk break. And they got too old and then they died. And I find out bulb grow top every year I think that why it didnt last long and corm grew to frost line and rot and disappear for good next year after come back I will make sure I replant it and I learn it didnt spread like elephant ears do. I zone push that gladius in Colorado springs. I might will do it again this year. They are pretty.

Can you do this with iris rhizomes? It's too late to plant them outside but they got dug up anyway.

[NanaPelletier]

I love these flowers. They were one of my Dad's favorite grow. I just can't seem to grow them. Not even in containers. I can't figure out what I am doing wrong.

[rojilalaishram]

Can i replant the old bulb? Will it gives flower?

[martinphilip]

I’m in zone five. I dig them up, pull the old corm and replant it straightaway. I think it works. It better since I’m looking at 300 of them. I put in new 1000 tulip bulbs every fall. It’s quite a sight.

Thank you SO much for sharing this. I am in the process of digging mine up, and I appreciate you posting this. Also, do you think this method would help with Dahlia Tubers?

[joybrown]

Thanks! What about the little mini bulbs that grow on the bulbs? Just throw away?

[gulshanziauddin]

I live in zone 7
Can I live them in the ground during winter
