 Have any of you had success with Gladiolus callianthus (old Acidanthera)

Dear Julie and All,
 Allthough it will perform better in full ground, it can also be planted
in  large containers (10 bulbs in a pot of 30-40cm,12-16" diam) a sandy
mix (50% potsoil with 50% sand) regular watering during the summer and
dry in the winter.                As many bulblets are formed, to be
repotted every two years.
Enjoy its delicious parfume at the end of the summer.
Kind regards
