Notes

'Rivièra' gladiolus (Gladiolus 'Rivièra') 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 orange-red blooms attract bees and open in early to late summer and again in early to late autumn. Stems reach about 55 inches tall. J. Snoek bred it.

Pairs well with Snapdragon, Fountain grass, and Tuberose.
