Notes
'Marion' gladiolus (Gladiolus 'Marion') 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 red flowers open in early to late summer and again in early to late autumn. Bees visit the blooms. The spikes reach about 43 inches, so you may want to stake them.
Pairs well with Daffodil, Mondo grass, Stock, and Casa Blanca lily.
