Notes

'Birgit' gladiolus (Gladiolus 'Birgit') 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. The yellow-green flowers are fragrant and bees visit them. Blooms open in early to late summer and again in early to late autumn. J. Snoek bred it.

Pairs well with Karl Foerster feather reed grass, Society garlic, and Wallflower.
