Harvesting Gladiolas

Question

How/when to cut flowering glads and how to preserve indoors?

Answer 1

Harvest flower spikes just before the top blossoms open, usually within three to four months of planting. The top blossoms will open indoors. Cut them in the morning or evening hours, angling the cut and immediately immerse them in water.
