The Hardy glads did great, but the other glads I ordered with it were all red. They were supposed to be a yellow orange combination.

Half came up, mostly red and pink

Submitted 7 months ago

By Gardening without Glasses

From Kansas

This first year only about half came up. I got quite a few reds, some vivid pinks, one white, and maybe two yellows with a little red. They struggled to stand up, so I need to figure that out. They were really pretty, the ones that popped up, even when they were on the ground. Really pretty flowers.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

A few blooms, all dark red

Verified Buyer

About 1/2 of the plants that came up produced blooms, only the dark red. I was really hoping for the other colors in the mix. I don't know if they were there and failed to thrive or if they weren't actually in there. Maybe they'll do better next year.

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend

Q
I planted in May and they bloomed well, albeit they did not look like I expected. It seems to indicate they do not need to be dug up in Zone 5, just 3 and 4. Is that true - surprises me? My low temperatures might once or twice a season get to -20F
Asked by Steve
Verified Reply - ViciAccording to your zip code you are in zone 5b. You do not need to dig these bulbs up in your zone. If you have an unusually hard winter you might mulch them.Was this answer helpful to you

Asked by Mark
Verified Reply - AngelaThe Mixed Hardy Gladiolus do not need to be lifted from the ground in USDA Hardiness Zones 5-10. You appear to be gardening in zone 6 and can leave them in the ground for winter. Was this answer helpful to you
Q
Do I need to stake them? If so how is that done?
Asked by Mel the new gardener
Verified Reply - AngelaGlads do sometimes need staked. If you just have a few, you can use individual bamboo stakes and a soft strip of cloth, hosiery or garden twine. If you have rows, stake the ends of the rows and run twine on each side of the plants. You may want to do a high string and a lower string on each side. Was this answer helpful to you
