Notes

'Tessa' gladiolus (Gladiolus 'Tessa') 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 blooms open in early to late summer and again in early to late autumn. Bees visit the flowers. A. Snoek bred it, and the yellow flowers have narrow red-purple edges.

Pairs well with Mountain mint, Mondo grass, and Lemon thyme.
