QUESTION:Â Is it okay to plant gladiolus now? I thought it might be too late.
ANSWER:Â Let s take a look at the MSU Extension Service Master Gardener calendar for April to see what Dr. Jeff Wilson suggests about planting, fertilizing, and pruning.
Bulbs listed on the MG Calendar for April include gladiolus. Other summer/fall blooming bulbs that may be planted are callas, cannas, dahlias, and gloriosa lilies. Get ready to set out these summer annuals (if danger of frost has passed): ageratum, ayssum, begonias, geraniums, dianthus, celosia, marigolds, moss roses, petunias, impatiens, and coleus (Don t you love the leaves of coleus!).
