Hi Garden Friends! While these bulbs/tubers/corms/bare roots are starting to appear in store now in late Winter, it is too soon to plant these out in cooler garden zones. You can purchase now, but wait until the ground is workable in Spring to plant things like lily bulbs, bare root fruit starts, and perrenial starts. As for the dahlias, canna's, etc, these are not cold tolerant, as such you would wait until after your last frost date has passed to plant these outside. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching. Take care! -Steph
If my ground is workable, can I go ahead and plant now? I’m in 6B and my last frost is usually around April 10, but we aren’t going below freezing in the 10 day forecast - highs in the 60s! It’s making me want to get out into the garden. If I’m getting hardy perennials, can I plant now?
You and me both! Always hard to choose when theres so many cool things. I have gotten much better at talking myself out of buying things. I ask myself "steph do you really have the space for this?" lol
lol, its so true Jasmine! They can't get enough of the couple I try to grow in my garden. Thanks for watching friend, I'm excited to grow the dark colored elephant ears!
Hi Ruth! Thank you for your kind words, and welcome new england neighbor!! The white mountains are beautiful! Have fun on your trip to lowes, hope you find some good options.
Had the greatest finds today at my area Lowes, I’m zone 9a Atlanta, Ga., so many of these can be planted now in my zone. Even, found bare root delphiniums, there is a much greater selection this year.
Hi Margie, I know, I only discovered this last year! Great time of year to visit these stores to find unique or new things to try growing. 18 days til Spring!
Wow what a great selection of plant your Lowe’s has. I didn’t stop today, wasn’t sure I could get out with just looking😉. I love when you read label and say deer resistant, I’m like another label my deer didn’t read 😊.
Hi Stephanie thank you for the Lowe's bulb tour I'm going to have to go I see some I want can't get over the black elephant ears never seen them before will have to look for them have a great day
Just when I'm trying real hard to stay away from my Lowe's store, your video is tempting me to see if it has some of these gorgeous bulbs that you've shown. I've been eyeing the Tiger Lily, Peony and Astilbi (sigh)
Hi Steph, loved the video. I saw the same variaties at my Lowe's yesterday. I did restrain myself but will be going back to pick up some of the Aquilegia, McKana Giant Mix and a Black Magic Elephant Ear plant. Since I'm in NE PA, I may start the elephant ear in a pot a little earlier since it does take them a while to grow. Have a wonderful weekend!!
This video was so helpful. I didn't even know I how to check the packages before buying. I didn't know lilies smell good either. I planted quite a few peony and dahlia bulbs last year. Only the creme de cassis dahlia bloomed. I had some freesia bulbs last year that I didn't pay much attention to and I was delighted that they popped up and smelled so good !
I was just looking @ Kelsey Annie Joy yesterday - I will need one kind to try in a container: easy to remove AND if it doesn’t do well, pick it up and move it to another spot. And I’m due for a Lowe’s trip (garden pebbles/rocks/more mulch/aerator/lawn seed/top soil...
You must have a great Lowe’s store. Mine isn’t so good, but I will go next week and check. I’m interested in host as with dark leaves. Thank you! I love watching your videos, very informative and I learned a lot from you. 👍💕
Hi Anna, Thank you so much for your kind words. I'm happy you enjoy my videos. My store had less than they usually do, but we are lucky that it is usually pretty well stocked. Here's a tip, try calling your store ahead of your visit to make sure they have them in stock, and they might even be able to tell you if they have the varieties your looking for if there not too busy when you call.
This might be a silly question but I was always taught that we have to plant bulbs in fall to have spring summer bloom ? Can we plant these now/ this spring and have blooms?
Hi Michelle! I was so happy to come across that variety! I hope you find some too! I'm going to put mine in a plastic nursery pot with some potting soil this weekend and sit it in a sunny window. Hoping to get it going so i can enjoy it all season 😍
Hi there, Depends on the type of plant. If its a hosta for example yes you'll get foliage. Things like Dahlias, you'll get blooms by end of summer thorugh fall, and Canna lillies are warm weather annuals, so those will bloom as well. However, anything perrenial, maybe or may not bloom this year. They might only bloom next year. Hope this helps.
Hi, maybe a voiceover next time as I’m afraid this will get pulled for copyright for the background music in the store. Nicole from Flower Hill Farm mentioned that recently….Glad I got to see it, though!
I like to walk around Lowes & HD but it's been years since I bought anything from them. Same thing year after year=- no variety. I order from the various catalogues, mostly on-line and many of which carry unusual or rare offerings. Usually it costs less than the store to tell the truth and the germination rate is close to 100%. I start in January and by tax day (4/13) blooms are appearing when I plant. This year I've ordered some rare caladiums, odd peppers, unique tomatoes, some ornamental peppers, parrot's beak, etc
we have non of that here in Minnesota, only seeds .. I am wondering now how fresh of a supply we are getting here in MN if we are the last in the country to start spring those pots with peonies got me thinking also, are they planted in the fall? or juts now before they send it to the store? coz that matters, you won't get blooms or you will get blooms guaranteed , right ?? I would buy it if blooms were guaranteed , those two varieties are very good to start a peony collection .. Lillies are at good price , I would get them foe sure
Those are so many nice varieties. I love tulips, daffodils and many other bulbs but my soil is clay, and it takes a lot to amend it. Can bulbs like dahlias, lilies and hostas be planted in flower pots be wintered indoors for the next growing season? The bunnies eat the leaves off my lilies; free salad bar for them, lol! TFS!
Hi Cami, I would say yes that you could try overwintering them in pots. I would let them go dormant and not water until you bring the pots back out in Late winter in preparation for Spring. Give it a try and see how it goes. 😏
Also, I've found in Maryland anyway that Walmart's garden center has the most robust bare root plants, the greatest selection, and by far at the best price. The hostas I've bought there are just amazing. And the grapes are already leafing out in pots and buckets in the greenhouse. Going back for another plant haul later today.
Highest quality dahlias I’ve purchased have always been from the Home Depots in Annapolis. Really huge and juicy tubers. Sometimes Walmarts are dried out.
Hi Steph, HortTube with Jim Putnam just posted a video about growing potatoes in grow bags. Maybe that would work for you. Last year he had a good potato harvest. Last fall I planted garlic in the ground and in Smart Pots grow bags. The garlic is coming up in both places so I'm excited to see how they do when it comes time to harvest around the 4th of July.
Hi Laura, Thank you so much for the suggestion. I actually did try grow bags with mine, but I think my issue was that I didn't top them off with compost once they started sending up the foliage shoots. I'll have to check out Jim's vid. Yay for garlic coming up! This is my first year growing garlic, and I also have shoots. Hopefully it works out for us both.
Yes, but it is the perfect time to put them into shallow pots in a greenhouse and set out in another month. I have found that so many of these do not survive even when you plant them directly in the ground after the last frost date. And I've learned that if you wait to buy them until after the last frost date, they'll be too dried out from being in the bag for so long that they have little chance of surviving. If you buy them now, pot them inside, then set them out in early April (in Maryland, anyway) it's just like buying the potted versions for a lot less money. It took me too many years to learn this, so hopefully, my lessons learned will help someone else. We need more beauty in our world today. Gardening is something everyone can relate to!
Oh those sound beautiful. I'm sorry they didn't work out. I find sometimes they can rot in the ground. I've had 50/50 luck bleeding hearts from bare root. However, I think they do quite well in sun. Try them in a sunnier spot sometime and see how it goes.

Steph what growing zone and city do you live in?
I’m in 6b, can I plant now?

hi Steph! OMGOSH this makes me want to run to my local lowes.... really, really really want liatris bulbs! thanks for sharing!
You are so welcome! Glad you enjoyed!
Had the greatest finds today at my area Lowes, I’m zone 9a Atlanta, Ga., so many of these can be planted now in my zone. Even, found bare root delphiniums, there is a much greater selection this year.
Hi there, Wow bare root delphinium. Cool find!
I brought some white peony from one county to another here in Kentucky. That was in 1976 and some of them are still alive.
Hi Loucile, They are beautiful long lived perrenials. Welcome from Kentucky!
Love these videos, I need to stop by my local Lowes. Thanks!
Thanks Steph I had no idea tractor supply had so many gardening supplies. Good to know thanks again can’t wait till spring 🌷
Hi Margie, I know, I only discovered this last year! Great time of year to visit these stores to find unique or new things to try growing. 18 days til Spring!
Heading to Lowe's today to pick up a few things now I will have to take a detour to see what my store offers in flower etc so fun:)
Ooh, I'll be looking for Landini at my Lowe's. Love!
Its a beauty!! hope you find some.
I love garden
Wow what a great selection of plant your Lowe’s has. I didn’t stop today, wasn’t sure I could get out with just looking😉. I love when you read label and say deer resistant, I’m like another label my deer didn’t read 😊.
I was trying not to go to lowes but now am going to have to lol
Hi Stephanie thank you for the Lowe's bulb tour I'm going to have to go I see some I want can't get over the black elephant ears never seen them before will have to look for them have a great day
Hi Jewel, I hope you find them! The black elephant ears were such a great find.
Thanks for the info!! My 2 elephant ears gave me 6 that I have stored in my basement. I’m gonna look for the dark ones this yr!!!! Thx
Hi there, so fun!! love when plants give us more plant babies. Hope you find the dark ones!
Just when I'm trying real hard to stay away from my Lowe's store, your video is tempting me to see if it has some of these gorgeous bulbs that you've shown. I've been eyeing the Tiger Lily, Peony and Astilbi (sigh)
Try the multi grafted fruit trees and mutant hybrid mix pluots, pluerry, ect.
Thank you! Those sound cool.
I was at Lowes last weekend and saw the coneflowers. I almost purchased a box until I read the review and they only received a 1 star rating.
Hi Steph, loved the video. I saw the same variaties at my Lowe's yesterday. I did restrain myself but will be going back to pick up some of the Aquilegia, McKana Giant Mix and a Black Magic Elephant Ear plant. Since I'm in NE PA, I may start the elephant ear in a pot a little earlier since it does take them a while to grow. Have a wonderful weekend!!
Costco has their bulbs out and some amazing deals!!
That's great! My closest Costco is 1 hr away so I don't get to visit. But I could be in trouble if I did, I hear they have great selections.

Hi Katie, you plant spring blooming bulbs in the Fall, and Summer blooming bulbs, in the Spring.
Great video, I may have to copy you on the black magic elephant ear lol!!
Hi Michelle! I was so happy to come across that variety! I hope you find some too! I'm going to put mine in a plastic nursery pot with some potting soil this weekend and sit it in a sunny window. Hoping to get it going so i can enjoy it all season 😍
Ohhh I might have to go to Lowe's Steph! I didn't know that there are white liatris! I always thought they only came in purple. 💜
This will sound silly. If I plant these in April, would I see flowers by summer? Or these are plaint this year and see flowers next year? Thank you.
Hi there, Depends on the type of plant. If its a hosta for example yes you'll get foliage.

Thank you so very much for taking us shopping...I have to travel about 25 miles to the nearest Lowe's so a huge time-saver for me.
Hi Teresa! Your most welcome, glad you enjoy.
Hi, maybe a voiceover next time as I’m afraid this will get pulled for copyright for the background music in the store. Nicole from

@HookedandRooted Thank you! I'll give it a try!
O my i want that black magic elephant ear! Usually those have to be ordered in catalogs and I cannot afford that.
I agree Ivette, the dark ones are special. I was thrilled to find them. Fingers crossed it does well.
Can we take these bulbs pack to airplane so that we can take can other country ?
Isn't there any problem during TSA!?
I went rack up on some from the Lowes in my area..
Packaging is nice...but what is inside the box?
Also, I've found in Maryland anyway that Walmart's garden center has the most robust bare root plants, the greatest selection, and by far at the best price. The hostas I've bought there are just amazing. And the grapes are already leafing out in pots and buckets in the greenhouse. Going back for another plant haul later today.
Highest quality dahlias I’ve purchased have always been from the Home Depots in Annapolis. Really huge and juicy tubers. Sometimes Walmarts are dried out.
Just grabbed some elephant ears! Do you recommend soaking the bulbs and then potting them up now?
Hi Michelle, No soaking needed. Just plant them in some potting soil, water them in, and place on a sunny window sill. That should get them going.
@@HookedandRooted awesome!!! These are so cool, I can't wait to see how they do :)
The Lowes in Vero Beach doesn’t carry any of this stuff at all?
Hi Hooked and Rooted, I bought liatris bulbs online and nothing came up. Would you recommend presprouting them before putting them in the garden?
Hi Steph, HortTube with Jim Putnam just posted a video about growing potatoes in grow bags. Maybe that would work for you. Last year he had a good potato harvest.

Try soaking them in water before planting. I think what you’ve basically done is called presprouting and that works too.
Are those elephant ears clumping or runners? I planted a running variety, and I found baby elephant ears all over the place for years.
Hi Jennifer, from what I can tell, they are clumping. I only grow mine in containers. Hope this helps.
@@HookedandRooted container planting for elephant ears is the way to go. I learned my lesson the hard way. 😅
Does asiatic lilies did need to be pre-chilled? Will it bloom the 1st year of planting?
Hi Karen, Sometimes when you newly plant lily bulbs, they may not bloom the first year, but you will get blooms in year 2. Hope this helps.
I always get blooms the first year.
@@lisajones7094 I have on some, but not on others. My Oriental lilies bloomed year 1, my salmon star year 2.
Where are you located Stephanie?

Hello
I bought ivory bleeding hearts, planted them in shade. NOTHING.
Oh those sound beautiful. I'm sorry they didn't work out. I find sometimes they can rot in the ground. I've had 50/50 luck bleeding hearts from bare root. However, I think they do quite well in sun. Try them in a sunnier spot sometime and see how it goes.
Am afraid of those boxes that we cannot see the bulbs.
Those can be tricky! I definitely prefer the clear packaging that gives the buyer an opportunity to inspect the bulbs/tubers etc.
