Do gladiolus plants produce seed?
Can you cross pollinate gladiolus and get different colors?
If gladiolus don't make seed then how do people breed new colors?

good luck

the problem i had ... in crossing things.. not glads in particular...

is the year or 3 for the seed to develop the corm.. to actually end up flowering ... especially if you ant to keep track of your crosses ... [that equates to whether i would have a 2 or 3 year attention span.. lol]

on the other hand.. if you just want to dedicate a small section of garden.. and just throw seeds there... just have fun ...
