Much like its other colors, the Gladiolus “Red” is rooted in Roman culture, symbolizing victory. But with its bold red petals and sword-like foliage, this plant is able to represent the same strength and bravery the gladiators fought with to gain those victories. Standing tall at 36-48 inches, this eye-catching flower thrives in USDA zones 8-10 in either full sun or partial shade. Naturally resistant to deer and rabbits, the Gladiolus “Red” makes a strong addition to any garden bed or floral arrangement.
