Tropical Plants

Cannas, elephant ears storage

20 years ago

Hi,

Wondering if anyone knows about whether or not these tubers/bulbs can be successfully stored over the summer without being planted-we may be relocating this summer and do not want to plant these now in case we move in the next few months. Any help appreciated-thanks!

I would plant them in the smallest pots possible for now so that you don't loose them to rot/fungus. In case you end up losing them when you move, email me and I can trade/send you cannas and ee's.
