Fresh Cut Gladiolus

Gladiolus come in almost every color except true blue.  Vase life range from 6-10 days, depending on care and handling. Gladiolus are sensitive to the small amounts of fluoride in tap water, so condition them in warm, de ionized water. 

Gladiolus are also slightly ethylene-sensitive, so use "quick dip" after cutting before putting down into water with flower food. 

Store at 34-38F.
