I planted my gladiolus bulbs today that is march 1st.Iam in LosAngeles when will i see the flowers?

Hello (again) Ash -





You sure are a busy LA bulb planter. :)





You should see your glads begin to flower around June/July here in LA (if you just planted them). You can leave these in the ground and no need to repot/force/move, etc. In fact, the more you leave them in the ground (again, here in LA) the more succesive bloom seasons and length you will experience. These bulbs do particularly well here when they are taken good care of (and, great luck with Freesias too).





So, to answer your question. You should begin to see your blooms in LA in early Summer. Try not to overfeed them (too much fertilizer) and try to expose them to the best light possible.





Have fun!


Chris "glad to see another glad" C|||after soil has warmed; they'll bloom in 65 to 100 days|||For fact they like warm moist soil, fertilize 2 tsp of miricle grow every two weeks and you should have shoots between 2 -3 months ensure they soin drains the water they grow slower once the soil is muddy good luck
