Gladioli
« on: September 27, 2011, 14:45:44 »
I found a seed pod on one of my gladioli .  What is the best way to grow these  ?
  ALSO
Is it true that the gladioli bulbs have to be dug up and stored somewhere for winter  ?  Can someone enlighten me please  ?    I,d hate to lose them . Thankyou .

They are best dug and dried... I leave them in and they decline and eventually disappear...  :-X
