Q: I love gladioli and would like to have some of my own in my plot. However, as it is a paved courtyard, I would have to grow them in containers. Is this possible, and if so, are there any tips I need to know before I get started?
A: Structural gladioli with their blousy blooms make a real statement – and they're easy to grow in both borders and containers. In fact, growing them in pots has some advantages, as it can make it easier to give them the adequate drainage and sunlight that they require.
