Notes
'Algarve' gladiolus (Gladiolus 'Algarve') 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. The fragrant red-pink blooms open in early to late summer and again in early to late autumn. Bees visit the flowers. This tall plant reaches about 59 inches, so stake it in windy spots.
Pairs well with Karl Foerster feather reed grass, Fountain grass, Snapdragon, and Tuberose.
