Where's Snadger when you need him - he'll know.

I guess it's worth a try, I don't know much about them but I didn't plant mine until the beginning of June last year and had a great show of flowers.

I'd plant them Flowerpot. I think they should be OK - and you've nothing to loose. Maybe NTG wll be along. He's the real expert on gladioli.

I've never grown them before (never really grown any flowers truth be known), but I planted some Gladioli in pots a few weeks ago just until I was ready to plant them in their final position. Not sure I've done the right thing now....

first timers growing gladioli...do they need lifting after they die down or can they be left in the ground like daffodils...
