My gladiolus are wilting over. Not the flowering stalks, but the stalks that have not flowered yet. They look really dry… but it rained all day yesterday….yesterday all of the plants were fine. Now today, all are wilting over.

In reply to Ashley Bogan. Absolutely, they do just fine here in VA, and SC is warmer.

I’m in the upstate of South Carolina. My Asian lillies, dahlias, day lilies, irises,and daffodils all do fine overwintering left in the ground. Would gladiolus be OK too, or are these less cold hearty than what I’ve mentioned?

In reply to Jennifer. Probably not. They are fine in parts of FL, but you are in the South and it's way too hot :(

Will they tolerate the Florida heat? I’m in Tampa region. Hot, wet summers, moderate dry winters

In reply to Kathy Meyers. Well, wait for now: you don't want to disrupt them, in case they are still alive.

How close, how long will they take to show that they are growing. I planting 25 corns a few weeks ago and only 6 are coming up? Should I give up?
