Spring is the time to plant summer blooming cannas, dahlias, gladiolus, calla lilies, hardy lilies, and the many specialty bulbs like elephant ears, and  caladiums.  We offer only the best top size bulbs because bigger bulbs produce more flowers and leaves. Most summer flowering bulbs are tropical and are usually dug in mid October and stored indoors for the winter.  We offer easy instructions for how to store these bulbs this fall. Below is a list of bulbs available at Plantscape this spring.  From old fashioned favorites to unique varieties, these bulbs will produce robust, strong blooms with vibrant color throughout the summer.

 Canna Plant in well-drained soil in full sun to partial shade. Remove dead flower stems by cutting down the stem to the nearest good leaf. This will give the plant more energy to keep producing more flowers. Also a great marginal water plant. If planted outside the pond in a container or garden setting, be sure to water well and often. The bulbs should be dug up in fall and stored indoors for replanting in spring (or the container moved to a frost-free area).
