    Once the flowering dies off, could you tell me what to do with left overs. I.e. Are the green looking bud bits, that the flowers were attached to, where seeds will be?

    Hi greenfingers, not many people grow gladiolus from seed, they take a few years to flower that way. Leave them to grow on, and you can lift the corms in the autumn and dry them off, or you may get away with leaving them in the ground overwinter, if its well drained.
