Gladiolli

[Asdagadget]

Can anyone help me please? I have grown Gladiolli for the first time this year ( my first year gardening/allotmenteering too!!) and recently dug up the corms/bulbs, intending to dry, store over winter and replant next Spring. BUT. . . .each corm/bulb has scores of small white pips/bulbs attached to it. What do I do with them? Will each one grow as a new plant. . .do I rub them off,. . .or just plant some of them?

They are small bulbils which if you have room can be just rubbed off and planted into a nursery bed. They will give you new flowering sized corms in a couple of years. Alternatively, compost them.
