Canna bulbs are not poisonous. Calla lilies are poisonous.
Summer bulbs are: canna, calla lilies, begonias, dahlias and gloriosa
Calla lilies are hardy, popular garden plants that need their own special care. Calla lilies grow well in many zones, but they are originally from tropical marshlands. Therefore, they need frequent watering and do well in partial shade. Also, they need bi-weekly feeding either through liquid fertilizer in water or compost in soil during periods of very active blooming. If growing calla lilies in a pot, however, they do not need as much fertilizer. Calla lilies reproduce by making more bulbs, so gardeners need to dig up the extra bulbs and either dispose of them or give them to others.
Iris do not need covering in winter.
Tiger lily bulbs can generally be planted in any season that is not winter. During winter, the bulbs do not bloom. Thus, it is best to plant them in the spring.
Yes!
These flowers remain underground in the form of bulbs in the winter and reproduce in the spring.
Just the same as tulips or daffodils ,when they finish flowering allow them to dry off and store in a cool frost free place until Spring.
I live in Arkansas and we have tiger lillies and surprise lillies. we never cut the leaves back for winter. we just let the leaves die a natural death and next spring they come back again I live in Arkansas and we have tiger lillies and surprise lillies. we never cut the leaves back for winter. we just let the leaves die a natural death and next spring they come back again
They lie dormant as bulbs under the soil.
Yes, the gladiolus bulbs will need to be dug up in North Carolina. The bulbs can be stored during the winter months inside and replanted in the spring.
Calla rhizomes need to be split after they've finished blooming and leaves turn yellow or die off. The rhizome needs a chance to dry out before being split. For the colored variety, be very careful not to let it sit in moisture or they may rot! Take them out of the soil and set them in a dark, dry place for a few days. Then, pry the rhizomes apart. For the larger, white calla (prefers moist soil), it won't rot. I would still recommend letting it dry out a bit before separating the bulbs.
