    Gladiolas

    Can anyone let me know if there is a way that you can control when your corms bloom? EG Date/Week/Month.

    Thanks

    If you stagger the planting time by planting every 10 days to 2 weeks you will have a more continuous bloom. How long it takes the individual plants to bloom will depend upon several conditions such as how much sun and the soil temperature when planting.

    [align=left]Has anyone tried planting Glads in the middle of the summer ?* I decided to give it a try since the bulbs were on clearance.** I put some in very large pots and some in the ground.** One of the pots has 2 coming up after just a week or two.** I see no sign of life in the other places I planted them.** [/align]

    Hi Frostette,

    Your potted ones are probably sprouting faster because the soil warms up more.

    When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant.
