Notes

'Stereo' gladiolus (Gladiolus 'Stereo') 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. Its purple flowers are fragrant and bees visit them. The plant grows about 59 inches tall, so it may need staking in a windy spot. Blooms open in early to late summer and again in early to late autumn.

Pairs well with Tuberose, Karl Foerster feather reed grass, Virginia sweetspire, and Fountain grass.
