    1. Hibiscus syriacus  Bluebird.

    2. cut them off just above the soil

    3. cut off the flower head after it has died, leaving as much leaf as possible to build up the corm for next year.

  • and if you have very wet soil as in clay ,I find it is best to dig up the gladiola  and winter in dry shed.image

  • Hi Pam

    It is Hibiscus syriacus.
