Unless they are musa basjoo, forget leaving them in the ground as they will most likely never make it thru an Illinois winter...(Although in Central Illinois several years ago I did have a few unprotected gladiolus make it thru a winter there. It was a very mild winter, though.)
My plants are musa basjoo. Planning on using mulch, straw and Styrofoam box. When should I separate the pups tho? Thanks
