Gladiolus seasonal highlights — a year in review

I've been growing Gladiolus for a full year now and want to capture what each season offered. summer bulbs like gladiolus and allium extending the season was the clear high point — everything you're told about Gladiolus at that time of year is true. But the plant has something to offer in every season, which I hadn't expected.

remarkable energy stored underground for a reliable annual performance is consistent throughout the year, which is one of its real strengths. I've settled on a container for a doorstep or patio display as the ideal position. leaving foliage to die back naturally after flowering was the lesson I took into next year. blindness with no flowers produced from weak or immature bulbs is the only thing that interrupted the enjoyment. Otherwise: excellent.
