Notes
'Sunrise' gladiolus (Gladiolus 'Sunrise') 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 light blue-pink blooms open in early to late summer and again in early to late autumn. Bees visit the flowers. Stems reach about 53 inches tall, so they make good cut flowers.
Pairs well with Anemone, Karl Foerster feather reed grass, and Chocolate cosmos.
