Notes

'Baton' gladiolus (Gladiolus 'Baton') is a bulb for borders and cut flower arrangements. 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, so it stands well at the back of a border. The white blooms are fragrant and attract bees. Each flower has a greyed purple mark that turns yellow toward the top.

Pairs well with Snapdragon, Fountain grass, and Society garlic.
