May 14, 2018A.It is not too late to plant glads. I like to stagger the depth I plant them between 4 and 6 inches in hopes that they won't all come into bloom at the same time. If you have large bulbs, 6-8 inches deep is fine.

Forsyth, ga 31029Q.Flowers discovered in Ga. at very old homestead site.
Hello, I lease 200 acres for hunting in Forsyth, Ga. I have noticed the greenery on the flowers for 4 years but have never seen any color whatsoever. We have gotten 3 straight weeks of a lot of rain. While out for a ride on the property my husband & I discovered these beautiful flowers. I have never seen anything so beautiful. We both love to garden and dig up saplings like redbuds & dogwoods and plant in our yard often. So of course we started harvesting these beauties before I even knew they were gladiola. I am attaching 2 pics so maybe you can help me identify the variety. thanks, Lisa Murray

Certified ExpertA.It appears to be an older glad that is known as the sword lily, but it would be very hard to pinpoint the exact variety unless you know what it was when you planted.
The best you could do would be to take pictures, or samples to your local extension service. They will be able to point you in the right direction of finding out.

I will be moving in the late summer so I haven't planted my glad bulbs for this year. Will they still be good if I keep them stored until next spring? I live in NY and moving to TN.

47711Q.Pink to yellow?
For the last 2 years, all of my gladioli have been a bright rosey pink. This year, 3 of my stalks had bright yellow blooms. I dug up the corms last fall and replanted to thin them out so I dont know if it's something I did?!? (Zone 6b) How did my blooms change colors?
- Answered by

August 26, 2018A.As you know, glads grow from corms. The corms produce little offsets that eventually mature into corms large enough to support foliage and a flower stalk. When bulbs, corms or rhizomes remain in the same bed for a few years, the strongest hybrids gradually crowd out the weakest hybrids. As a result, you'll end up with a bed full of yellow glads, when you originally planted lots of different colors. The best way to keep this from happening is to dig and replant your corms every year or two, separating the offsets and planting them elsewhere until you know what color they are. Digging will enable you to take inventory every year or two, and to keep only those colors you really like and sharing the others with gardening friends.
