Gladiolus dalenii

All the dalenii I grow appear to be hardy enough in Upstate NY, zone
6-ish...  I lift most of the bulbs, just in case, but the ones I have
allowed to stay planted have come back each year now for four years.  They
are, however, quite late in appearing.  I don't expect to see them before
mid-May/early June.
