Gladiolus dalenii - Corn Flag
Gladiolus dalenii reliably brings brilliant orange and yellow flowers to a garden in the Fall. This Gladiolus has been in cultivation for a long time and the Corn Flag is a parent in many of the modern Gladiolus hybrids. Gladiolus dalenii comes from Southern Africa. It is used in traditional medicine. Gladiolus dalenii prefers adequately drained soil and can get by on a very infrequent irrigation schedule.
