Gladiolus dalenii 'Carolina Primrose' - We received this plant as Gladiolus daleni 'Carolina Primrose'. Collected at an abandoned homestead in North Carolina, it was noted as a small pale-yellow-flower form of the species or perhaps an early hybrid but it appears to be even more different than this. Blooming much earlier than the fall blooming G. daleni, this plant, at 18-24 inches tall, is also decidedly shorter. Whatever its true identity is, this simple flowering Glad is very nice. Dormant in winter. It is astonishingly cold hardy to under 0° F and claims have been made that it can survive to -22° F. We received this plant from Old House Gardens.
The information displayed on this page about Gladiolus dalenii 'Carolina Primrose' is based on our research conducted about this plant from books in our nursery library as well as from information that is provided by reliable online resources.
