| Can anyone tell me if my Gladiolas should be showing through the soil yet? This is only my second year with them and I can't remember when they started to pop out last year. |

| Hi there, Yes they should have just started in the last few weeks or so. I noticed mine last week. Every area will be a little or maybe alot different, but yes they should look like blades of grass about now. Who said they wouldn't over winter? Their not as big after the first year. |

| Thanks Sneeze guard.... I think I'll do a little digging and see what I can find. |

| I've never over wintered my glads. The last two winters were long and cold, so I am surprised. Let me know if it works. I have still to plant mine however and I think tonight is the night. I may get later blooms but that is okay as we will be away the last week of August and early Sept and with any luck I will have flowers when we get back instead of all them being gone. |

| Oh my! I dug one of my bulbs up and it was all mussy! I guess I've lost them! ;( |

| I thought the "hardy" glads were only hardy to ~Z5 and regular glads weren't hardy at all and needed to be dug up in the fall. -Stephanie |

| I always dig up my glads and store them over winter as they are not hardy, at least in my zone. I do have some hardy glads that stay in the group, but they are small and the clump never gets bigger. The only reason they are still there is because they are not in the way of anything else. |
RE: Gladiolas ( when to dig up???) Help???

| Does anyone know when to dig up glads in zone 4? This is my first year with them and I have over 200 of them...Do I dig after flowering or do I wait till they die down? About what month do I dig them up? Thanks... |

I just wrote an email as to if anyone yet grows Gladiolas. If I would have looked through the forum I would have seen yes indeed, Gladiolas are growing just fine in Ontario.
Are you folks buying your Gladiolas from the local retail stores such as Home Depot etc. or more specialized growers |
