Hello all.

For what ever reason, my mom gifted me with a canna tuber (Madame
Butterfly
to be specific).

OK - there is still snow on the ground here in NH and it isn't going to
be
warming up soon. SO, should I pot it up and let it get started in the
house
until late May? Or leave it as is until later this month? How big a pot?


HELP!

Cheryl


Yeah, you can start it early. You'll get earlier flowering that way. The
pot
size should be obvious based on the size of the tuber.


A better question is how deep a pot...

C



6-8". In a perfect world where life allows gardeners to do everything right
on time, like transplant things, that'll be big enough.
