Notes
'Kane' gladiolus (Gladiolus 'Kane') 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 orange blooms open in early to late summer and again in early to late autumn, and bees visit them. Plants reach about 53 inches tall, so you may want to stake them. Piet Boots bred it.
Pairs well with Snapdragon, Fountain grass, and Mountain mint.
