Will gladiola corms still bloom after being dormant for 2 seasons?

I have many gladiola corms that my father used to plant each spring and dig up each fall for winter storage. He was sick last year and did not plant them. They were stored in a cool, dry place. Will they still bloom if they miss a planting season?Will gladiola corms still bloom after being dormant for 2 seasons?
What you want is viable corms. Whether they can bloom this year or must wait until next year is lesss important. Cut open a representative corm and see if it contains any moisture. If it is completely dry, it has died. If your corms are OK, plant them right away. Good luck.Will gladiola corms still bloom after being dormant for 2 seasons?
Bloom? I'm wondering if they will even grow?? Unless they are dried and shriveled, the only way you'll know is to get them in the ground and see. They may not flower this year but just spend the time storing energy so they can be dug, stored and replanted in 09 to bloom.
Plant 'em, water 'em, feed 'em, and wait.


You might have a wonderful surprise.


I've planted some pathetic-looking corms from time to time, and after they came up, there were some beautiful blooms.
I think they should. I had ranunculi bulbs dormant for 6 years and they grew %26amp; bloomed when planted.
Probably, unless they are shriveled.
