Notes

'Early Bird' gladiolus (Gladiolus 'Early Bird') 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 blooms open from early to late summer and again from early to late autumn. Bees visit the flowers. J. en P. Snoek B.V. bred it.

Pairs well with Karl Foerster feather reed grass, Yellow iris, and Tuberose.
