A clump of Black Prince (iirc) which has survived several winters in the

Has anyone propagated cultivated, large-flowered glads from their own
garden seed? Any guesses how long from seed to flowering size corms?



From memory, plant one season, overwinter, they should flower next season.


I think you may be confusing seed with the tiny corms that some Glads
produce around their existing corms, and they take more than one season to
flower anyway IME.
