Fall Bulbs
Bulbs aren't just for spring and summer; several kinds of bulbs can be planted in the autumn in Florida. Unlike tulips and many other bulbs, these bulbs don't need to chill before blooming.
The gladiola produces tall spikes of large blossoms in a rainbow of colors. It can be planted anywhere in the state, and will bloom within three months of planting.
Propagation, or Dividing Bulbs
In Florida, early fall is a good time to divide bulbs. These plants develop "baby" bulbs, which, when grown to full size, are known as offsets. To divide bulbs, simply separate these offsets and replant them, pointy end up, to create new plants. Store bulblets in a cool, dry place for up to a week before planting.
I hope this info helps!
If you use zone 7 as a base line the best time to plant gladioli (Gladiolus sp.) is in spring.
Hi Frank. Because the climate in Florida is warm and moist, you can easily grow Gladiolus. Split them using a pointed shovel. And transplant them in a place that gets full sun.
You should be able to do it now
Hi Frank - This is the ultimate and super easy step-by-step guide to determine your plant hardiness zone, your frost dates, and also when to start planting indoors and outdoors. Plus lots of great resources. Hope this helps and happy gardening! Hugs, Holly
