    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    A rather striking hybrid with Gladiolus tristus shared with us by plantswoman Ginny Hunt. The mid-spring flowers, to 2" across with several to each spike, are cream-white, centered and streaked red, and surrounded by the finest of chive-like leaves. Slowly spreads into generous clumps. Enjoys winter moisture and full sun; allow summer dormancy for much happiness. Frost hardy in USDA zone 7.
