Tuberose and Gladiolus planting time

Post by aykhan »

I just got double tuberose and gladioli from the USA. Wondering what's the best time to plant. If I wait till Fall then how best to store them?

I saw tuberose flowering at Munir Sb's residence. I planted some last year, i think in July, They did not flower but survived heat and frost....

Waiting till May is quite long! Should I place them in peat moss and sprinkle some water every month?

as per my little experience they maintain foliage throughout the year....so i guess they will sprout for you as well. Not sure about flowering.

Dr sb. Tube roses can be planted right now, they will grow till the end of September so there is still lots of time left, Tube roses here will stay evergreen a little frost that we get will not hurt them. I also have seen them flowering in December in my University in Islamabad... so it is safe to plant them now.. you may still get flowers out of them.

Gladiolas can be planted in fall.. until then dust them with some limestone (choona) powder or any fungicide powder and store them in a cool ventilated place in paper bags.

I had planted Tuberoses in the end of May. Now I am enjoying their bloom and fragrance. So it is the right time to plant its bulbs.
