Positive doss On Jul 4, 2005, doss from Stanford, CA (Zone 9b) wrote:

This Gladiolus is hardy down to zone 7. That means it doesn't need to be lifted and it also doesn't need to be staked. Two great things in a Glad. Even though the color is pale, the blossoms are large and stand out in the garden. It is a rapid multiplier and can be left to it's own devices, with adequate water, until it needs to be divided. It is so hardy, that it was discovered growing wild in a roadside bank in North Carolina. Highly recommended.
