    We've tried planting glads many times over the years, they never seem to mature right and/or they flop over when they flower....so I guess you could say glads make me sad.......

    All of mine do flop over but you'll see a section of a fence that props them up. I'll also be talking about where I will be actually cutting the flower to be put into a vase. stay tuned

    Looks great! We plant 50-100 every year then dig them up in the fall and re-plant them the next year. No flowers yet but a few small spikes. Hopefully they will get on the ball. Been tough so far since there has been so little rain so doing a lit of watering.

    Make sure your vase is heavy enough to hold the tall plant
