The best and latest flowering at the end of the Fall is the form called G.
natalensis var. hookeri, the "Rhodesian flame Glad." Its a nomen nudem and
despite the common name from Kwazulu-Natal and Mozambique. This is a
brilliant red-orange and yellow flower. Worth trying if you can find it.

Dear All;
I've bloomed plants bought as G. x gandavensis and G dalenii
from S. Afr. seed and they are essentially identical. I love that
they bloom later than any other hardy glad for me.
Recently a friend who is more dedicated to these, mentioned a
range of color forms from yellow to peach and tangerine. I begged for
seed.
Anyone else grow a range of colors. Any deep yellow of pink?
