Notes
'Kirana' gladiolus (Gladiolus 'Kirana') 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 red-pink flowers are fragrant and attract bees. Spikes reach about 51 inches tall, so stake them in windy spots. Wülfinghoff Freesia B.V. bred it.
Pairs well with Karl Foerster feather reed grass, Mountain mint, and Fountain grass.
