Bloomsz Tropical Garden Flower Bulb Garden, Flower Bulbs 17pk

Stunning! and "Hot! Hot! Hot!" are the compliments you'll receive when you bring the colorful, lush beauty of the tropics into your own garden with our Tropical Garden Bulb Garden. As a focal point, start with the burgundy/green leaves and brilliant orange flowers of Canna and surround the Canna with the brilliant red tubular flowers of Crocosmia that arch gracefully on wiry stems over green sword-shaped leaves. Every garden deserves this delightful taste of the tropics. Both varieties are long-lasting and the foliage of the Canna provides excellent contrast for bright red Crocosmia flowers. Can be grown in containers on patios, decks and balconies. Attract butterflies and hummingbirds and are deer and rabbit resistant. Excellent as cut flowers, both varieties are a flower arranger's dream.
