'Greta' gladiolus (Gladiolus 'Greta') is a bulb for borders, cut flowers, and fragrant summer color. 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. Its orange-red blooms open in early to late summer and again in early to late autumn. Bees visit the flowers. Arris P.J. de Ridder bred it.
