The summer is over. It was time.
I started these little raised beds with 6 bulbs from an online farm. I couldn’t find any local bulbs that promised 4’+ cannas. So I took the chance.
I planted them towards the end of March. By June they were a couple feet and by July they were between 4-6 feet tall and had multiplied into a beautiful privacy hedge. I loved these. So tropical looking and so thick. They also attracted humming birds and butterflies.
We’ve had our first frost and the leaves started to shrivel so it was time to cut them down and dig up the bulbs for wintering. I had no idea what to expect when I was all done I had over 30 bulbs.
I’m giving most of them away I kept the ones that I wanted and have friends and family taking the rest. I’ll be ready for March to plant them again and see what my wintered bulbs produce.
