Hi, I have been given a load of gladioli bulbs. Is it to late to put them in?

[robbodaveuk]

No, put them in now and you will have flowers this year.

Mine are still in the bag by the back door and they will probably be there for another couple of weeks until I get time to plant them -  unless I tidy up which is highly unlikely

I've got some I put in pots earlier - there'll nearly ready for going out. Do they need protecting from frosts?

They are one of those borderline hardy plants. I have had some overwinter without any trouble, yet other people have always had them die unless they bring the corms indoors.

It's fairly chilly in Yorkshire so I'd not risk them getting frosted yet. You could start hardening them off though
