Notes
'Conformist' gladiolus (Gladiolus 'Conformist') 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 light yellow-orange flowers are fragrant and attract bees. They open in early to late summer, and again in early to late autumn. J. Snoek bred it, and the stems reach about 42 inches tall.
Pairs well with Chocolate cosmos, Karl Foerster feather reed grass, Snapdragon, and Fountain grass.
