Gladiolus

I live in Norris town PA. Do I need to dig up the corms each year?

Yes, gladiolus hybrids, the most commonly grown glads should be dug up in the fall, the stems cut off and stored indoors before winter arrives. You can dig as soon as the foliage turns yellow. Then dry the corms on a flat surface for a few weeks before storing them in a cool place in a single layer over the winter months. Keep growing, Marianne Binetti
