I have seen it growing in the cracks in the cliffs in Sani Pass, where presumably it is always moist and never too hot or too cold. For me in the UK it survives in rather neglected pots for some years and I recently planted some out in the garden where it flowered OK, this year. Long term wait and see I guess. Produces fertile seed for me, although a market stall seller recently was declaring it could not be grown from seed ;-)

I tried to grow Gladiolus flanaganii in pots for several years here in
north Italy but I never succeeded. I planted the bulbs in a very well
drained soil watering moderately during the summer and keeping the bulbs
dry during the winter. Immediately after the purchase towards the summer
the bulbs put the leaves and they bloomed, but immediately after the leaves
turned yellow and dried and the bulbs died. I cannot understand the reason
for this failure. Does anyone have positive experiences with this species
of Gladiolus? Thanks.
