Notes
'Violetta' gladiolus (Gladiolus 'Violetta') is a bulb for borders, cut flowers, and containers. It is hardy to USDA zone 8, or down to 10°F (-12°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to wet, sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. Tall spikes of fragrant, dark violet flowers open in early to late summer. Butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees visit the blooms. Walker-Moffett bred it.
Pairs well with Agapanthus, Black-eyed Susan, and Sneezeweed.
