Ideally if you are harvesting the leaves of a plant, you want to do so before it flowers. After it flowers the plants energy is in the flowers and getting ready to seed, which will then transfer the energy downward into the ground and the roots to prepare for winter. Where as if you want the flowering tops, like with st.johns wort or yarrow you wait until the plant flowers. However, my nettle plant has already flowered and I’m gonna harvest it anyways! But just so you know, this is what nettle flowers look like, kind of like little green pearl necklace…. Make sure you wear gloves when harvesting Nettles; preferably rubber ones. (I still got stung through my cloth ones!!) I like to leave some of the plant to grow the rest of the season, so I’ll cut a couple inches from the ground, making sure that there is new growth coming out and to leave it there.
