These bulbs have grown healthy plants, but they do not have big showy red blossoms. I will replace with something else next year.
Only One Grew
I love Cannas, and have great blooms from KVB bulbs. Bought these for two large pots. Only one grew, and is doing well. When I dug up the remaining four bulbs, there was no sign of growth, and half the bulb was mushy. Disappointing!
...need RED?...vote for 'the president'!
...very nice healthy rhizomes!...each & every one!...
