Notes

'Gloria' gladiolus (Gladiolus 'Gloria') 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 are red with yellow stripes, and bees visit them. Blooms open in summer and again in autumn. A. Snoek bred it.

Pairs well with Karl Foerster feather reed grass, Society garlic, and Beautyberry.
