Nursery contributed plant descriptions

We acquired and sowed some seed of this hardy gladiolus, and found that when they bloomed, we had a lovely array of soft yellow to apricot flower tones. Corms multiply quickly, and send up 3' flower bearing stems in mid summer. Yes, this has wintered over for us for 5 years in New England, but one never knows when arctic winds will force frost deep into the earth, so we'd suggest putting a winter mulch over it in the garden. Shipping multiple corms per 4" pot.
