Fragrant winter growing South African bulb combo
Give the gift of winter dreaming and spring delight with this fragrant bulb duo. Gladiolus tristis, often called the “Evening Fragrant Gladiolus,” produces elegant, creamy blooms flushed with soft green and gold. Hardy in zones 8–10, it thrives in dry-summer climates and releases a sweet, jasmine-like perfume at dusk. Paired with Freesia ‘Single Blue,’ a richly scented heirloom strain known for its graceful arching stems and violet-blue flowers, this combo brings color and fragrance to late winter and early spring gardens. Best in zones 9–10 (or grown as annuals in cooler regions), both bulbs prefer full sun, well-drained soil, and modest summer dryness. Plant as soon as you receive them for an intoxicating seasonal display that’s as easy to grow as it is beautiful—perfect for gifting to gardeners and flower lovers alike. These bulbs are ready to grow and will delight the gardener in your life with a rewarding experience of winter growing charm. Packed 2-3 bulbs per species this combination comes gift wrapped in a holiday muslin bag complete with notes on growing these two charmers.
