Hardy summer flowering bulbs

[Finch]

Hey everyone iv been sorta busy lately so havent been able to stop by as often is i used to.


Anyway, were looking to plant a bulb garden. I liven in the plains states, zone 4. I was wondering what summer flowering bulbs, if any, can grow in this area.


Thanks!

In which Zone are you at Finch?

zone 4. i think alocasia would do well for him

He`d have to bring them in in the winter though. I think colocasia would do well if he has wet soil,again he`ll have to bring them in in the winter though.

Wait! those arent "flowering" bulbs though! HMMM....I don`t know then!

 

[Spectabilis73]

Alocasia go dormant under 45 degrees

The leaves themselves are better than flowers

Umm the only sunner flowering bulbs i know of are daylillys. ill go with those. Theres thousands of varietys

 

[pond boy]

Daylillys aren`t bulbs though! They are tuberous rooted herbaceus perenials. They would do great though as they are virtualy indistructable,and propagate redilly.

I would recomend the cv. `stell d`ore' as this plant blooms almost year round!
