Notes

'Gwendolyn' gladiolus (Gladiolus 'Gwendolyn') 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 attract bees and open in early to late summer. J. Snoek bred it. Stems reach about 55 inches tall, so you may want to stake them.

Pairs well with Snapdragon, Fountain grass, and Yellow iris.
