Wow Lesa, wonder if our Home Depot has them? If so, is it too late to plant? May go there tonight!

Blulbs seem to go on sale at the tail end of the season. I always wondered if you could still plant them or to save them for next year. I would think they would dry up if you saved them.

You could always treat them as a house plant and then put them out again next spring.

Went out of town this weekend and I stopped at a TSC on the way. I found a elephant ear bulb on sale for $2.99 Yay! I will plant it tomorrow in a hugh cobalt pot. I just bought one. I hope that was enough. Not sure if I am supposed to plant several in a pot that big. I guess I could always plant other stuff around it.

It's going to be lovely Mary. I hope you'll post picts once it's up. I picked up one from TSC this weekend too - wonder if they're the same variety?

If it does any good you will soon have a lot more than one, though I've never grown them in a pot.

Cane, mine is just the green color kind.
Ridgerunner, I didn't know they reproduced easily. Thistle grew them in pots for a client. That's where I got the idea from. I'm trying to give my deck a tropical look. I already have the reddish banana plant and angels trumpet.

I have bought several packages of clearance bulbs from Lowes. I never had any luck growing any of them, so no more for me.

Mine too. Silly me - I tossed the little tag that was rubber-banded to it....
I've already got a couple of the dark green ones and 1 red-stemed one on the sides of the heat pump, this one went in front with some cladaiums (sp?) that were also at TSC on sale.
You'll have to post some picts of your tropical paradise once the EE has come up.
