Toxic to pets
Gladioli are harmful to pets if eaten: they cause drooling, sickness and diarrhoea in dogs and cats, and the buried corms are the most poisonous part. Keep lifted corms out of reach and stop pets digging at the zones; the record lists no hazard to people. If a pet eats any, contact a vet.
