Notes

'Alabahma' gladiolus (Gladiolus 'Alabahma') is a bulb for borders and cut flowers. It is hardy to USDA zone 7, or down to 0°F (-18°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to wet, loamy soil. It grows about 59 inches tall and bears fragrant yellow-green blooms. Bees visit the flowers, and Tjeerd Dijkstra bred it.
