Notes
'Corfe Castle' gladiolus (Gladiolus 'Corfe Castle') 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 chartreuse-green flowers have broad cyclamen-purple midribs on the upper petals. The top petals are striped campanula-violet. The blooms are sweet-scented in the evening, and bees visit them.
Pairs well with Shasta daisy, Fountain grass, and Autumn fern.
