[@venezuelarodriguez2523]

Very good tips, thanks

[@KellyLehman]

I'm so glad the Gladiolus tips and tricks were helpful 💐👍

[@GardenUPLandscape]

Thanks for these great tips! You mentioned at the beginning that you'd share some tips to help them come back the following year but I didn't catch what I was listening for. I've been struggling to get my glads to survive over winter. I know it can be done, I knew a lady when I was a kid who had an entire field of glads. So why do mine keep dying? I live in the Inland Northwest/Eastern Washington, we get cold winters for 3-4 months of the year. The first year that I tried glads I left them in the ground. None came back. I researched them and found that they need to be dug up like dahlias, so I did that the next year. I kept them in a cool closet in my basement and replanted this spring. I got tiny leaves, presumably from all the new little bulblets, but not a single flower. What am I missing?

[@susiefitzsimmons1147]

Lucy is beautiful! Were there flowers in this video? All I saw was a beautiful dog! (Seriously- Thank you for the information.) I just planted a couple hundred gladiolus in my garden.

[@pablorau7622]

Thanks Kelly! good tips to know about sugar and vodka.

[@kathyr5278]

Hi there, thank you for this awesome video. This is my first time with gladiolus. I saw that they grew tall healthy green stalks and the fell over and a couple red flowers burst out in a big pot on my balcony. Poor thing I live in the desert. The stalks got sun burnt 🥵 Oh my goodness so now I don’t know what to do. Leave them alone or cut burnt stalks off and wait for next year❓

[@ferchosgirl]

Hi😊 I’m in Union! Can you tell me if it’s too early to plant my gladiolus bulbs. For the season? Thank you so much, very informative!

[@veronical3135]

Had a few gladiola bulbs planted last year in a windy area, second year in spring took away lots of bulbs from the area planting other flowers that I grew from seed. Few weeks, months later to my surprise noticed them grow back again many more than I planted the first year. I’m truly happy for them coming back cause they’re so beautiful and they really stand out.

[@KellyLehman]

Hi Veronica👋 Thank you for sharing! So glad to hear that they grew back beautifully🌸

[@PolychromaticZero]

Hello, as you know likely we are going through a drought and i have 9 gladioli, and all 9 are doing pretty well

[@charlesgilliland532]

Look at those hydrangeas!

[@KellyLehman]

[@hossenfeffer8383]

[@KellyLehman]

[@pilarcarbonero8935]

Hello Kelly! Very nice video, very nice flowers and usefull florist advices. I love Gladiolos too! But here un Spain (Europe), now, Gladiolos are not very fashionable, because are so classic! Anyway many people/florists love Gladiolos as myself do. I'd like to learn about US gardens, and even more about the original US flowers. I'm following you! Regards from Spain -Europe- Thk y so much!

[@KellyLehman]

[@garrykrause2375]

YES KELLY IT'S ME--WE HAVE ALREADY CUT OUR GLADS DOWN AND DUG THEM OUT--WE HAVE THEM STORED DOWN IN THE BASEMENT IN A BAG--NOW WE ORDERED ANOTHER BUNCH OF GLADS TO PLANT THIS FALL--IWANTED TO LEAVE BULBS IN GROUND BUT THE MISSES WANTED TO DIG THEM OUT--SO NOW I HAVE TO CLEAR OUT ANOUTHER PLACE FOR ALL THE NEW GLADS THAT SHE HAS ORDERED-OH BOY!!! JUST HOPE WE GET NEW GLADS WHEN WE PLANT THESE--OUR'S WERE BEAUTIFUL BEFORE WE DUG THEM OUT AFTER THEY DIED. SORRY SO LONG-JUST WANTED TO KNOW IF WE SHOULD HAVE LEFT OTHER BULBS IN GROUND--CRAZY I KNOW--TTYL--GARRY.

[@jenniferapiary]

Hi from NC thanks

[@KellyLehman]

Thanks for watching!

[@KellyLehman]

Thank you for checking in from North Carolina 🌻🌸🌍🌸👋

[@amnarehman806]

how can you keep already cut gladiolus fresh? Or even preserve them?

[@ritawatson6944]

Can you grow gladiolus from cuttings ?

[@terrybuckalew6874]

how do you keep them from falling over

[@Kelly.A.]

Does the sugar and vodka work on peonies or other cut flowers? Great tips and video!

[@KellyLehman]

Yes , it does . Thank you for the great question 🌸👏

[@larrycrutcher8125]

I just started to grow mines and I wait too grow

[@brittanygarrison8030]

The Bernie is the greatest thing in the video. Forget the flowers.

[@KellyLehman]

I agree . Lucy always steals the show 🌸🤗

[@ricardonovillo8199]

Good morning from England. Very good your video. Congratulations. I have gladiolus plants and they are infected with thrips. The leaves are dried and white-yellow. What can i use at home to save them?. Thank you very much.

[@awander9314]

Neem oil

[@kevinburlew1410]

hi kelly did you grow up in laurence harbor?

[@Flexheble]

Are white spots on the flowers normal?

[@dennissdmd]

I just found a package of corms I neglected to plant earlier. Is it too late now for Connecticut?

[@KellyLehman]

i just planted a bunch yesterday here in NJ . It is pretty late in the season to plant them but i find they have a better chance of coming back if i plant them late instead of storing them . i would give it a try and pop em in the ground . Make sure you water them in . Good luck ! 🌸🌸

[@mzorkea]

i got a bouquet of gladiolus the other day. I want to grow them from there. what should I do? so far i have kept them in a vase ful of water. any ideas?

[@KellyLehman]

Gladiolus are usually planted in the bulb form. I’m not sure how to grow them from a cut flower form . Not sure if this can be done .

[@sandrasealy7411]

I just got a bunch of beautiful gladiolus…how do I trim them to put in vase…I had a bunch put them in vase didn’t last long..I didn’t know where to trim them before I put in vase?

[@KellyLehman]

Clip of the top of the plant , last close bud if it doesn’t have an open flower.

[@somisiam79]

From where i can buy bulbs in bulk on cheap price?please reply

[@iranoveryourhead]

Hi Kelly. I’ve just bought 100 bulbs. I live in France and want to get them in the ground as soon as possible. Would it be ok to plant them now in July ?

[@JayJay-sf2wn]

Is that a Mt Bernese? She is gorgeous!

[@KellyLehman]

Yep, Lucy is a Bernese Mountain Dog all right 🤗😊Thank you🌸

[@smitajoshi851]

Hello, One gladiolus corm produce how many stems each season ?

[@KellyLehman]

Hey there great gladiolus question 👍 Usually one giant flower stem per corm

[@johnmoreland8706]

What verity of glads are you growing... I’m looking for the florist type

[@KellyLehman]

Hi John , when I order them I look for the sizes each bulb seller grows . Then I choose the showiest tallest varieties . I’m not sure of the exact varieties I have in the field . 🌸🌸

[@johnmoreland8706]

They look like the florist veriety... my father had a floral shop for the first 18 years of my life so I’m sure he can give me a heads up or flowers market can steer me on the proper path... thanks love

[@Felellzo]

​@@johnmoreland8706 pink colour is tampico, red colour is red balance. I produce gladiolus as cut flower and in my opinion these variety are the best in their colours

[@TheSoilandGreen]

If you harden them off slightly the top will bloom and not wilt over. I can’t clip off flowers, seems a waste. I understand why people do it tho.

[@carleanr4051]

I'm the same way about cutting flowers off! I love to enjoy them on their stem IN the garden. :).
