Notes
'Monica' gladiolus (Gladiolus 'Monica') 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 red-pink blooms open on tall stems about 59 inches high and attract bees. Piet Boots bred it.
Pairs well with Peony, Karl Foerster feather reed grass, and Spurge.
