Great presentation for Gladiolus, I’m excited to start them in early spring. I think you probably made a lot of Gladiolus fans out of this video.
Thank you for this video. I have been cutting my glads wrong this entire time (waiting for most of the flowers to bloom). Please do more videos on how to cut and where to cut on the stem. Also when you dig up your glads show us how you store them. Love your informative videos.
Thanks so much Martha! What zone are you in? I've been experimented with leaving them in the ground here in 6b and I'm getting 95% coming back. I've always read zones lower than 8 should dig up and store, but in my personal experience it's not worth it in 6b - especially since the corms are so inexpensive.
Northlawn Flower Farms do u just leave them in the ground or do u dig them all up and separate the babies to put elsewhere? Im in zone 8 and am growing gladiolas for the first time. Years ago i left asiatic lilies in the ground. They came back smaller the next year and then not at all afterward. Do the baby bulbs end up using up all the resources and cancel out the big ones?
@@NorthlawnFlowerFarm I'm in zone 3. Unfortunately I can't leave them in the ground.
Hi Danielle, I have several glads that I left bloom out in the garden. I was wondering when it’s done blooming can I cut the stalk off or do I need to leave it and the leaves to rejuvenate the corn? Thanks for the educational video! And thank you for the book you sent me! I love it!
That was super helpful, so many ideas I'd never heard of before, thank you! 🎉
So lovely !! And of course that beautiful music from your mother. ❤️
Thanks so much for a new perspective of glads! Look forward to growing some next year.
these are so pretty! and i love the idea of cutting the stems short to fit into a smaller vase. Never would've thought of that!
I can't tell you how much I love seeing your garden. It brings tears to my eyes that you have a garden dedicated to your grandmother. My grandmother was my best friend. My grandfather was the gardener. I helped him some as a kid. My grandmother always referred to all the flowers in the yard as "my flowers". It was funny to me that it was my grandfather who did all the work. She even cried once when my cousin mowed down her gladiolus.
I have a hard time watching some of the walks in he garden because I get nauseated from the camera motion. So I listen and just catch glimpses as you identify the plants.
I am in search of a lacecap hydrangea. I saw you have one. I have a customer (I own a window cleaning business) who has 3 in her garden. When I was trying to describe it to my daughter, I wanted to say it had Glitter in the middle. Hers are magically beautiful.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful garden.
I love gladiolus!! I need to grow them again!! Loved the music at the end!!!
My favorite are those creamy white! So beautiful!
I grow to these too!!
So beautiful!!
And the music.... ❤️ !!
Your Gladioli are beautiful.I like how many bulbs or corms can just be put in the ground and forgotten about until they start growing😀
One of my favorites. They are so beautiful
This spring I put a photo on Instagram about using the gladiolus until the bitter end. I love to leave them blooming in the garden. but when they are almost spent, I pick them, clean up the bottom spent flowers and let the tops open in a vase. It makes for a much shorter arrangement, but YOUR TOTALLY RIGHT...these flowers can be used in so many ways!
What a great tip about reusing and sniping the stalk 👏
I bought and succession planted some this spring for the first time. I recently purchased some orange and white to plant for harvest in October & November. Thanks for showing me how to harvest and use. ☺️
Great thinking with the orange and white later on! I love that idea. Thanks for sharing!
Found a bag last week I bought cheap the end of last yr., pretty surprised when I seen what was in the bag. I agree they're a Beautiful flower, one of my favorite tall growing flowers.
Great video and explanation on how to harvest. Thank you!
Thanks for this video! I was just trying to figure out when to cut Gladys and here you are 👌🏼
Wow!!! Soooo pretty gladiolus flowers 💗
Great tips. I love these! Priscilla variety is Beautiful. Can’t wait for your next video.
We have this type of flowers during the lunar new year in my country . I love them, since they always remind me of the holidays when all the family members gather :)
You are the sweetest, such an inspiration. I love the way you do your arrangement, especially when using your cute vessels and flower frogs, more of those video clips, please. Continue your great work :)
Beautiful! Great tips too 😃
Thank you very much! I'm new to gladiolus and this was very helpful!
Thank you for a beautiful way you teach me about this flower that I love so much and brings back memories from my childhood in Argentina 🇦🇷 Nov. December allover we use to see Gladiolos, (sp.)
love the song choice at the end!!!
I love gladiola ever
Never thought of planting these due to the funeral association like you said but now...wow!
Gladiolus are very preppy
Too cute with a flower in your hair
Very nice presentation, thank you!
Very informative video! Thanks!
Wow, I never knew these were associated with funerals. For Lunar New Year, there are only two flowers we use and Gladiolus are one of them.
It is Spring here and I am going to plant my corms today. I hope they turn out as beautiful as yours 💗
So it turns out I've had a yellow and red one growing in a pot that has a giant jade plant I got for free off the side of the road. I've always thought it was grass today but I've never been able to get to it to pull it out from the roots so I left it, about 2 years later it's finally flowered, and I've now discovered a new flower, so gorgeous!
Wow very nice 👍
Great tips!
Beautiful
I got a bag of these giving to me from home Depot in my in laws Easter basket. They are definitely a dominating flower but I'm in love with them. I take it they don't like what feet because a couple of them near my drip line seem to be rotting away.. at any rate the others are exploding with color I will have to find some other colors for next year
🌼🌸THANK YOU ‼️🌸🌼
Amazing
I just discovered (and subscribed to) your channel - I'm really enjoying your content! I've never grown glads before this year, but on a whim I purchased a bag of 15 from Aldi for $2.99. I planted them in a side border garden that I don't tend to regularly. Was I ever surprised to see them recently, several feet tall blooming their little heads off! I hope Aldi carries them next year; I'll buy several more.
(Love the background music, one of my favorite hymns. :-) )
Hi new friend!!! Isn't Aldi wonderful for bulbs and corms?!?!? I have purchased many bags from them also. I can't believe their clearance prices - way cheaper than wholesale! What variety did you get?
@@NorthlawnFlowerFarm Priscilla, gorgeous!!
I’ve been pulling them out of my garden but decided this year to let them grow. We’ll see
I d love to see the set up of your flower stand .
You got it! Just uploaded a video on setting up the stand a few days ago🌸
I just planted my first garden of glads , about 40 of them Last week. I'm so excited , how many years do these flowers keep comming back ? For years and years ?
Thank you! This was so helpful. How much do you sell the cut flowers for?
Wonderful presentation! THANK YOU! Also, where can we obtain gladiolus bulbs so we can plant them in our garden. Again, THANK YOU! 🌻
Hi Danielle! I really enjoy your videos. I was wondering of you would ever consider doing a video on cut flower design for landscapes? I'm interested in adding more cut flowers into my landscape design but I'm a little lost on how to get started. Other than stem height and bloom color, I'm not really sure how to make my flower beds look nice. Since the flowers would be in the front yard I really want to a avoid a wild look and I'm not really sure how to do that. Perhaps you have a suggestion on which cut flowers have a neat foliage look, like gladiolus and hydrangeas? 😊
Hi Krista! Yes this is a wonderful idea! So interesting that you say this because it's a video I'm currently working on!
Awesome!! Thank you 😊😊
Great video; beautiful flowers; the singular of gladiolus is Gladioli :) Or just call them glads.
What do you think about planting dalias together with gladiolas?
Great video! 👍🏻 Do you know if the blooms are edible?
Awesome video! What is the whitish variety called?
Do you have to dig the bulbs up for next season like dahlias?
if you cut them, does the plant make another stock with more flowers?
Beautiful flowers, but mine seem to curl at the top and not stay straight what’s going on, they are in full sun.
If you cut the glad will another grow in place of the one that cut. ?
Quick question. My Gladiolus seem to be getting big and kinda falling over. Is there a way to stop this or help them out? This is my first year trying to grow these.
After the gladiolus are over, is there anything else you can plant there and use for an other cut flower?
mine keep flopping over. Tying them to a steak does not look nice because the leaves get pinched. Do you have any suggestions for me? Thank you.
I have dozens of them in one huge pot how long should I wait for them to grow ( they are seeds right now so it looks like a pot of durt
if we cut the stem from gladiolus plant, then a new stem will be grown or gladiolus bloom only one time?
I just subscribed to your channel. Beautiful flowers. I liked the music that you use at the end of your video. Thank you for what you do. Hope to hear back from you. Take care
Thank you so much! That is my very talented mother on the piano!
@@NorthlawnFlowerFarm Ma'am when is the best time for growing these beautiful flowers? Do we plant only bulbs or also seeds? I don't know much about these beautiful flowers. Meaning will search these in the nursery around.
Love the video! My grandfather used to grow gladiolas very successfully. I decided to give it a try this year. I have a small farmstand and was wondering how they are priced to sell? By the stem? By the bouquet? Thank you.
I used to sell them growing up at markets. I have seen them sold as individual stems but we always did it as bouquets. 8 stems per bouquet is how we did it. More than that creates a crowded vase in most cases. Fewer than that just never seemed full enough.
Is it pretty common for gladiolus to hybridize? I planted a mix of pink, yellow, orange, and red a few years ago. This spring I had all kinds of colors I never planted 😂
Will these bulbs winter over in zone 4 / 5 or do they need to be dug up every fall.. thank you sharing all your knowledge, It truly has helped me so much..

Hi Julie! You will need to dig them up in your zone. I've always been told zone 7 and lower should dig up and remove. After a few years of trying different things I no longer dig them in zone 6b. In zone 4-5 I definitely would. I hope that is helpful!
I have some gladiolus that have been in the garden for a few years. I'd like to transplant them. Any tips on when is a good time to transplant. When i tried it in the past the others didn't survive.
Hi! What zone are you in? Zone 7 And higher I would dig and transplant in the fall once the foliage has turned brown. Lower zones can dig and store over the winter, and then plant in the new location after all danger of frost has passed.
Has anyone tried these in deep shade?
I've had leaf growth on my gladiolus but still no bloom stocks and I feel like it's been at least 90 days. Am I doing something wrong?
Just wait. Mine bloom in Aug/Sept.

If I may ask, What is the average amount of flowers you sale each sat??
Hi there! I set up approximately 5 days a week all growing season. I sell an average of 5 bouquets a day.
@@NorthlawnFlowerFarm So amazing 👏 God bless you 💖
I thought the funeral thing is special for our country😆
Look,..a guard cat!🙄
