My wife has a number of gladiola bulbs that she could not plant last summer because of our move.
Will they still be plantable this summer?
She is also wondering about cosmos seeds which are left over from 2 years ago. She also has some other annual seeds left over. We would appreciate any advice.
Can flower bulbs last more than one year?
Yes I have used older seeds and bulbs. they may not all sprout, but most should.
Reply:Yes bulbs and seeds will last for as long as you take care of them. My grandmother used to keep her bulbs in the cellar until she was ready to plant them. Back in her day friends would share bulbs so that they would all have nice flower gardens.
Reply:The bulbs are pretty hardy and should keep well. Not sure about those particular seeds. I would expect the same though, unless they have been exposed to high heat or extreme cold.
Reply:The only way to find out for sure is to plant both of them. The glads may bloom this year and cosmos seem to last forever.
