Comments:
This cousin of the gladiolus should be divided in the fall every 3 years. This particular cultivar is an especially good one for the garden. Several others are available in the trade. Flowering is best in full sunlight. Lot of foliage produced in shaded gardens, but blooming will be sparse. Foliage can become untidy in late summer. Cut back in fall.
