Oh yeh, they should...My moms comes up every year and she has never planted more!

You know you have to let the leaves die on the plant so that while they are green they can absorb all the light energy. They use that to store up energy for the next years blooms. Or at least I think that's the way it goes. This is my second year with blooms. I leave mine in the ground but that's because I'm in a much warmer climate. I'm zone 7A. I actually had one of my bulbs have a baby last year which was great fun to watch it grow. You know if you do a succession of plantings you'll have a much longer bloom time. I only have 9 bulbs so I don't do that but some day I might.

I had glads a long time ago. They didn't come back but, I didn't dig them up either. This year I'm going to try them in a large pot.

well i checked all my old corms-bulbs yesterday,
they all look fine! one thing that stuck out was there size, they were at 3x as big as the new ones i got.
i will plant them the same as i did last year in a double row, then i will continue the rows with a new one called black knight,then follow on with the new mixed ones until i reach the end of my plot!
not sure how it will look, but if they do well i will try and get a photo of them and post them on here.
TK if you do lift them you will be surprised how many babies you will find underneath,some of mine had as many as 20. i never replanted them, i was told they take 2 years to flower.

What if I pot mine now. I bought a large pot at Ollie's.(and a cute angel/fairy for my pond)I wanted something tall for in it to go with other plants I haven't decided on yet. Could I do it now? Will they grow faster than the weather will get warm. I'm in z6. Probably won't get warm to stay till near the end of April.
Maybe I should wait a littlelonger

I planted some glads a few weeks ago and they are starting to emerge already . I am so excited, they are going to mask the entrance to the unused crawl space to the property in front of me.
