Description Please read all before you purchase !!! Not sure about other sellers I don't think so but I wear gloves mask when filling orders all the way until over the counter at the P.O. U.S. shipping only. They will sprout this summer next spring you will have lots of new growth bulb roots you can transplant . Hummingbirds love these flowers. We get more action from them then the hanging bottles way more hummingbirds since we have had these. If you love the little hummers then these are for you cheaper then all that sugar !! Lol !!! Will be getting 15 hardy freshly dug bulb root cuttings the day of shipping . We are in Northern Oklahoma leave ours in the ground all winter no covering over them . If your extreme north you can dig them up or just cover with a layer of leaves or straw . If they are dry when you get them from being in a box a couple days do not throw them out. These are very hardy plants real hard to kill . I have transplanted them after laying in the sun for 3 or 4 hours due to being interrupted they did just fine . When you plant go about 2 inches of dirt on top of them . Plant with fine finger roots on the down side but I just toss mine in the hole cover mine all come up anyway . Water well for 3 or 4 days your good . If when you get your Canna something has come up will be a few days before you can get to them just keep in a cool place mist them with a spray bottle every other day. Janie
