Marian,
I think it depends on the size of the bulb you received in the first place.
If tiny, you'll get foliage the first year. The second year they should do
OK. I had the same experience. I wouldn't fertilize now since the bulbs
should be going dormant. When you replant for next year, mix in some Bulb
Booster or Osmocote for time-release fertilizing. These things are as
carefree as their gladiolus kin.
