In our climate where we don't dig glads for the winter they multiply to the point that they are weeded out as the small corms do grow without blooming for a couple of years. The blooming glads nearly always will fall over unless supported, but that is easily done in advance. Al

i find those little cormlets to be weedy when they return the next year. most glads in zone 5 succumb to freeze/thaw cycles and turn to mush, leaving one or two bulbs next spring that flower surrounded by a weedy lot of tiny stems on the cormlets. sometimes i hoe them off if i want to plant something else in that spot.

it takes years to develop flowers on these if they can make it through our iffy winters. i just buy new ones each year and plant them within a large hooped plant support that holds up the stems for flowering..
