Notes
'Cream Perfection' gladiolus (Gladiolus 'Cream Perfection') is a bulb for borders, cut flowers, and containers. It is hardy to USDA zone 8, or down to 10°F (-12°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to wet, sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. The tall spikes carry fragrant, light yellow-orange blooms that attract butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees. Plants stand 35 to 47 inches tall, so you may want to stake them in windy spots.
Pairs well with Nymph gladiolus, Montbretia, Vermillionaire cuphea, and Lemongrass.
