Gladioli as Cut Flowers
Monday, October 19, 2026
8:00 p.m. EST

Presented by Dr. Neil Anderson, University of Minnesota

Gladiolus are a high-impact addition to any cut flower program, offering vibrant color, vertical form, and strong market appeal. This webinar by expert Dr. Neil Anderson of the University of Minnesota covers the essentials of growing gladiolus for commercial cut flower production—from corm selection and planting schedules to harvest timing and postharvest handling. Discover novel flower colors, types, and dwarf varieties that make this classic plant perfect for modern uses. Learn how to optimize stem quality, manage pests and diseases, and plan successions for continuous bloom. Whether you’re adding gladiolus to diversify your offerings or scaling up an existing crop, this session provides practical insights to improve efficiency and profitability.

Zoom instructions will be emailed to members on the day of the event. All Ask an Expert webinars are recorded.
