Notes
'Hidden Pleasure' gladiolus (Gladiolus 'Hidden Pleasure') 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. Tall spikes of fragrant, light blue-violet flowers reach about 51 inches and draw bees. Tjeerd Dijkstra bred it, but no year is given here.
Pairs well with Chocolate cosmos, Autumn fern, and Casa Blanca lily.
