- Pre sprouting summer flowering corms and bulbs indoors can get them flowering earlier. This is especially helpful in areas with a short frost free growing season. Pre sprouting is easy to do and takes up very little space. Watch how I pre sprout lay crocosmia and gladiolus in this video.
I grow flowers and vegetables in Saskatchewan, Canada. My cold hardiness zone is zone 4. I have an average of 110 frost free growing days each year. The past few years have seen our temperatures go as low as -37C (-34.6F) to as high as 37C (98.6F). Come see what and how I grow in these conditions.

Always informative and timely. Thanks so much again for sharing
Glad it was helpful!
each zone brings its own problems here in england we get different problems
but as true gardeners we never give up trying 👍
Very true!
Howdy, Prairie Plantgirl! More great information! 👍 Thank you!😃
Have you ever grown Elephant Ears in your garden?
Continued happy gardening!💕
I purchased an elephants ears years ago before I really knew anything about it. I enjoyed it for a season and tossed it!
I transferred all of my bulbs in two planters that can stay in sun during daytime and in the garage over cool nights. Ranunculus started a couple of days ago in separate container.
I purchased calla lilies at the end of season and surprised to see one of them had a seed pod. Two of 3 seeds germinated so far. Exited to have them as well.
You are on the job!
I am going to start crocosmia and glads like this. What do they need in terms of water and sun while pre-sprouting?
Just keep them damp/moist in a sunny spot (south window) or under grow lights.
Do you soak your gladiolus in a diluted bleach before planting? I had bad thrips on mine last year! I soaked in diluted bleach solution before storing and might do again before planting. Darn bugs!
I don’t soak them. After a bad year of thrips I’ve put pot poppers nematodes on the soil when planting. Those nematodes will take care of thrips larvae as well as fungus gnats.
