Notes
'Lolita' gladiolus (Gladiolus 'Lolita') 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. It grows about 55 inches tall, so give it a spot in the back of the border. The red-pink blooms are fragrant and attract bees. Tjeerd Dijkstra bred it.
Pairs well with Tuberose, Karl Foerster feather reed grass, and Festiva Maxima peony.
