Notes
'Bolero' gladiolus (Gladiolus 'Bolero') 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. Red, fragrant flowers open on 39 inch stems and attract bees. J. Snoek bred it. Flowers open from early to late summer and again from early to late autumn.
Pairs well with Karl Foerster feather reed grass, Snapdragon, and Hummingbird's mint.
