Notes
'Eloise' gladiolus (Gladiolus 'Eloise') 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. Light yellow, fragrant flowers open on stems about 51 inches tall, and bees visit them. Tjeerd Dijkstra bred this gladiolus. Stake the tall stems so they stay upright.
Pairs well with Fountain grass, Tuberose, and Japanese holly.
