Gladioli bulbs

[Scarlet]

Nice one, just read the thread. You planted tubers in August and got flowers ! - some of them look like quite large decoratives too which usually take quite a while to flower. Mine were started in pots in March/April and some didn't flower at all this year. August it is for me next year then

Did you lose many of them or did most grow on when planted?

I only bought one pack....quite a bit later than VC. I planted mine in pots in the GH and kept them there as it was so late in the season, keeping them well watered. Not all flowered but the tubers feel good at the moment so I'm hoping I'll have a few to have a go at taking cuttings from. The only issue was that they weren't named....

I've moved some of the planted pots into the GH but some have to stay out as the daff bulbs are pushing up between them.
The 800 gladioli bulbs are still in their bags - under cardboard, in the GH. Maybe something has eaten them and I won't have to worry about planting them.
