Today we head up to the allotment and show you how to plant Gladioli bulbs. They really are easy and will add a splash of colour to your garden in the middle of summer. It’s not just gladioli bulbs that we plant we also plant out a tree lilium or tree lilly.

Hi Adam, Another great video, always enjoy watching them. Regards, Rod.
Hmmmm…tree lily… I have the perfect spot for a few of those. AM shade due to a bush. But at that height they'll be in full sun in no time. Also have a bearded iris outside that back fence I need to move in the fall. But that one is going into a buried tub due to the way they spread. Nice vid bud. You keep making them & I'll keep watching them.
Not boring. Thanks for sharing. I love Gladys. Looking forward to the tree lilium
Nice weather for you when you were at your plot. Never seen a tree lily before. Will be great to see how it does. Take care.
Nice camera work. Have you heard of the APP Myseasons for smartphones. It has been made by the EU for "citizen scientists" It allows you to collect data for a phenology database and they are interested in things like when snowdrops emerge, when forsythia blooms, blossoms on apple trees all as indicators of climate change. They want as many people as possible to collect the data in different parts of Europe. It would be a great collaboration of folks who have allotments in the UK.

Hey Adam, flowers, flowers every where!!!! :-). I have not heard of the tree lily will be interesting to see how tall it gets.. T
lovely update I'm going mad with flowers this year too, glads will be nice the bees will love them.
Awesome video, simply great.
I have found tree lilies grow as a standard lily in the first year and take several years to grow over 6 feet tall .But they are well worth waiting for. Just a reminder that slugs also love them !
where r u in london i am i wgc herts my first plant i ever planted was gladioli and that was it had every year since lol
You're not boring me !!! I love this 🙂 I just planted my Gladiolus & Lilies 🙂
Will wild rabbits eat them
Nice video, I just found your channel and will check out more!
When you stagger in 2 weeks do you plant in another area? How do you know where the first 8 are? Thanks.
Nice video, not boring at all, did the tree lily grow?
Not boring, I loved it. How the tree lilium grow?
Yep deeper the better…taken on new garden and all big herbaceous perennials are flat on the ground..heart breaking in high sunmer..so next year will be supported all the way
Lovely..do well in nice bit of dappled shade too..but full sun as much as possible..go bit deeper with the lily too .
yay The Smiths 😀 I still got the LP records somewhere in the cellar 😀
2020…I am a new gardener. I know nothing except I planted black eyed susans, azalea bush and a Dinner plate hibiscus. So proud they came back 2 years on a row. So, I just purchased a bag of glads and found your video helpful. Gonna plant tomorrow. Should I be using compost every time I plant? Thank you! p.s. can you link photos of the results?

If you grow the gladiolus in groups, are they pretty good about suppressing weeds and crabgrass?
Ooh I love Gladioli, wish I had the space. That tree lily looks gorgeous, how did it fare?
Someone told me to soak them in water so they root otherwise they don't grow. Is that right?
