Gladiolus dalenii

Thank you all for the advice. This gives me some hope that they have still to wake up.

Warm Regards and Thanks,
Fred

All the dalenii I grow appear to be hardy enough in Upstate NY, zone 6-ish... I lift most of the bulbs, just in case, but the ones I have allowed to stay planted have come back each year now for four years. They are, however, quite late in appearing. I don't expect to see them before mid-May/early June.

Hi Nick,

I live in Cambridge (Boston) MA an the winter can and usually go down
to the teens to negative digits F in the winter. I haven't dug down
yet but I will very shortly to see if there's any sign or mush. Most
if not of my summer growing bulbs are actively up and out of the
ground. I'll keep an eye out for it just in case but have you ever lifted them for the winter?

Warm Regards,
Fred

Hi Fred,

How cold is cold, and how do you know they didn't survive? Did you
dig down, or are you inferring based on their failure to reappear this spring?
I'm in NC, and most of my G. dalenii, and the hybrids thereof, are
only now breaking the surface. In a colder climate, I'd expect them
still to be underground. Some clones are even later to break
dormancy. The 'Halloweenie' clone sold by Plant Delights doesn't
appear in my garden until sometime in summer and it flowers about
three months after the other plants--are your plants perhaps a late-emerging form?

Hello Folks,

Does anyone grow this pretty Glad in the colder states? I planted a
potful in my garden but it didn't seem to survive the winter despite
being planted in the warmest part of my garden and at the base of a
sunnyish wall. I'm very tempted to try is again but I'm thinking of
lifting it in the fall for dry storage in my basement. Has anyone
else tried this and have they been successful?

Thanks and Warm Regards,
Fred
