Most of those should bloom this year, sometimes it depends on the size. Most lilies planted now will bloom, but will look much better next year. Glads & freesia are more annuals for you in zone 5, or to be dug in the fall; although glads always come back for me & aren't supposed to, so who knows. I like to plant stuff that has to be dug in one bed. Usually those plants like more fertilizer than my other perennials, & I don't have to search them out. I think that makes it much easier. If you use the same bed each year, the soil stays really loose & easy to dig too. Besides canna, dahlia, freesias, I'm sure there are several. Peruvian daffs, caladiums, elephant ears. I'm trying to stay away from huge amounts of stuff I have to dig, but these tropical looking ones are such fun to have in the garden.

thanks, that's really good advice. I was wondering how I'd keep track of them if I had to dig them up!
