Notes
'Prince of Orange' gladiolus (Gladiolus 'Prince of Orange') is a bulb for borders, containers, and cut flowers. It is hardy to USDA zone 8, or down to 10°F (-12°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to wet, sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. The flowers are fragrant and bloom from early to late summer. Butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees visit them. Tall stems reach about 47 to 59 inches, so you may want to stake them.
Pairs well with Montbretia, Gerbera daisy, and Elvira gladiolus.
