Gladiolus tristis (Yellow Marsh Afrikaner) - In the fall, 4 foot high grass-like foliage emerges from the corm. In the following spring delicate cream-yellow tubular flowers bloom on tall flower stalks. The flowers are fragrant at night. It does best in full sun and watered regularly. It is hardy to below 15 degrees F.
This information about Gladiolus tristis displayed is based on research conducted in our horticultural library and from reliable online resources. We also will relate observations made about it as it grows in our nursery gardens and other gardens we have visited, as well how the crops have performed in containers in our nursery field. We will also incorporate comments that we receive from others and we welcome hearing from anyone with additional information, particularly if they can share any cultural information that would aid others in growing it.
