Notes

'D-Day' gladiolus (Gladiolus 'D-Day') 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 fragrant flowers open from early to late summer and attract bees. Cut stems bring the scent indoors, and the plants add color to a sunny border. Zomerschoon B.V. bred it.

Pairs well with Shasta daisy, Fountain grass, and Stock.
