Notes
'Yucatan' gladiolus (Gladiolus 'Yucatan') 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 orange-pink flowers attract bees. It stands about 63 inches tall, so you may want to stake it. Jaap Blom bred it.
Pairs well with Peony, Spurge, and Mondo grass.
