Photo Challenge – Simply Red Squares/Gladiolus

On By TimelessladyIn photo challenges

I have cut and vased almost every stem of Gladiolus so far. Only one or two have lived out their bloom time in the garden. My Glads are always floppy. I found out a week or two ago that this happens if you don’t plant them deep enough. I am already imagining where I will fit in the new Gladiolus bulbs next year. I love the bright, long-lasting bouquets I can create with them.

This post is part of the Life of B blog, Simply Red Squares challenge. Thanks to the host, Becky, for the challenge.

    1. I didn’t know this tip, and I’ve often heard the opposite, that if you plant a bulb too deep it won’t emerge. Who know? Next Spring/Early Summer, I will try to go a bit deeper and see what happens.
