Gladiolus dalenii Boone Dennstaedtia each one is slightly differentThis amazing Gladiolus dalenii hybrid was introduced to the market by the former Holbrook Nursery in NC after it was discovered in the frigid mountain town of Boone, NC, by extension agent Jeff Owen. The 4' tall stalks open in early June (NC) with medium sized flowers of peachy apricot, highlighted by a yellow center and red streaked throat attractive to hummingbirds. Although we list this as Zone 6, we have heard many reports of Zone 5 hardiness.
