Withstands winter and returns the following year with a bright fanfare of flowers! Winter-Hardy Gladiolus come in a random mix of pink, red, purple and white flowers that add elegance to garden settings and containers. They make showy cut flowers, too.

They perform best when planted in full sun to partial shade. Deer tend to avoid. 8-10 cm bulbs. Zones 4-10.
