Notes
'Vesuvio' gladiolus (Gladiolus 'Vesuvio') 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 red blooms are fragrant and bees visit them. The flower spikes reach about 63 inches tall, so you may want to stake them.
Pairs well with Festiva Maxima peony, Fountain grass, and Snapdragon.
