Are you looking for creative ways to use gladiolus in floral designs? Then try one of these methods and let us know what you think!

Removing the top of the gladiolus flower gives a subtle, soft look to a design, while a gladiolus left with the tip intact looks bold and dramatic.

Try submerging gladiolus in a vase filled with water. This brings elegance to any event, and you can even add floating candles above the flowers.

If you want to use gladiolus in market bouquets, consider removing all the lower flowers. In a spiral bouquet you generally only see the tops of the flowers and removing the lower flowers changes a gladiolus from a spike flower to a focal flower.

You can also shorten a gladiolus down to only one flower, put individual flowers in water tubes, or wire them for use in a variety of applications.
