Gladiolus dalenii, the Parrot Gladiola or African Parrot Gladiola, is a species gladiolus native to Africa. An Iridaceae family member, it produces spikes of hooded, orange-red to salmon flowers with yellow throats on 3 to 4 foot stems in summer.
It's more perennial and hardy than hybrid gladiolus, naturalizing in warm climates. Prefers full sun and well-drained soil. A graceful, wild-looking addition to meadow gardens or mixed borders. Synonym: Gladiolus natalensis.
