Title: Miniature gladioli corms
Post by: gray1720 on July 15, 2015, 18:08:55

I've just discovered a small plastic bag with some miniature gladioli corms in it that t'other half was given and had forgotten.

Should I plant them now,or just keep them dry until spring? One has dried out, but the rest are still firm.

Cheers,

Adrian

I think the word 'miniature' is key to the answer, subject to variety these might be full sized primulinus or largish gladioli spawn

I would form a little trench and place them side by where they will perhaps sprout leaves which will help to bulk them up for next year.

BTW Can you see little root points on the bases of the corms as seen in this picture?

Just a few root points, not as many as your pic. Anyway, they'll go in tomorrow evening!
