Notes
'Princess Margaret Rose' gladiolus (Gladiolus 'Princess Margaret Rose') is a bulb for borders, cut flowers, and containers. 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 fragrant flowers open in early to late summer and again in early to late autumn. Butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees visit the blooms. Tall stems can reach 47 inches, so stake them in windy spots.
Pairs well with Agapanthus, Black-eyed Susan, Karl Foerster feather reed grass, and Sneezeweed.
