Hybridizing
of Gladiolus
Hybridizing
of Gladiolus is a challenging
and exciting way to
expand your hobby of
Gladiolus growing.
The hybridizing of
Gladiolus in its simplest
explanation is removing
pollen from the male
part of a flower from
a variety of one plant
(this plant is the
pollen parent). Then
placing the pollen
on the female part
of another gladiolus
flower from another
plant (the seed parent).
There
is regular section
in the North American
Gladiolus Council (NAGC)
publication, Gladworld
on the subject of hybridizing.
Information is directed
at both the beginner
and experienced hybridizer.
We highly recommend
membership In NAGC,
including a subscription
to Gladworld, to enhance
your knowledge of this
aspect of Gladiolus
growing.
