  • Posted by Catmint20906 (PNW WA half hour south of Olympia - Zone 8a) on Aug 23, 2014 4:16 PM concerning plant:
    Gladiolus x gandavensis 'Traderhorn' produces heavy flower stalks that typically need staking. Without staking, the leaves and stalks of this plant are likely to flop and become very unattractive. This plant is easily grown from bulbs and enjoys full sun. It is hardy in zones 7a-10b. Corms may be dug up for overwintering in colder climates.
