AznCaucAzN asked:

Do you have to pull out the bulbs that you planted last year in your basement/cool dark place? I planted tulips last year and they grew beautifully this spring. Do I have to pull them out of the ground before the freeze or can I just leave them in the ground? Will they still be back for next spring if I leave them in the ground? If I take them out do I just leave them in a bag in my garage? When do I plant them back in the ground again to be ready for spring? When’s the best time to plant bulbs for next spring?

Gladiolus Bulbs Sprouting In the Bag and It’s Not the Right Time To Plant?

Smartie_Pants asked:

I bought 10 gladiolus bulbs. They are in a pastic bag with air holes made all over it. The roots are not growing but the top is sprouting.

It says on the cardboard instruction panel under “Tips” that this is normal, that the bulbs are just wanting to be back in the ground, but it says to plant in March-May.

Should I just let them or put them in the fridge to make them dormant?



Can I dig up my gladiolus bulb to straighten it out?
