Notes
'Flevo Ocean' gladiolus (Gladiolus 'Flevo Ocean') 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 are violet blue with white stripes and attract bees. M.G.T. Snoek bred it. Plants reach 30 to 36 inches tall, so they add height at the back of a bed.
Pairs well with Tickseed, Karl Foerster feather reed grass, and Society garlic.
