Winterizing Tender Bulbs, Tubers & Rhizomes - Wisconsin Garden Video Blog 1060

- It’s taken us 4 days to dig up, wash, trim and begin winterizing the majority of our tender bulbs, tuber and rhizomes. They have been drying in the sun for several days, so it’s time to decide how we’ll store all of tender bulbs. There are many options for winter storage. You can use cardboard boxes, open plastic crates, paper bags, mesh bags, containers filled peat moss, shredded newspaper, sand, or vermiculite. Once placed in a container, we cover our tender bulbs with a piece of burlap and store them in a cool dark place in our basement. At least once a month, I inspect each container to make sure all bulbs, tubers & rhizomes remain healthy and remove any that are questionable. Here’s how we do all of this.
For those viewers new to our channel, we’ve recently published a 24-page Garden Video Blog Directory eBook listing over 1,000 of our garden videos each arranged by topic of interest from A-Z.

Good to see you guys again. I thought I could leave all bulbs in the soil here in Wisconsin. Good to know I have to do that.
Hi iara, glad you found out about the tender bulbs. Always bring in everything but Crocus, Daffodils and Tulips. Sometimes we lose some of our Dahlias, but many others do fine. Looking forward to getting them in the ground come the middle of May.
Thank you for watching, sharing and caring. Keep the love growing. Lynn & Richard wisconsingarden.com
Great video my friends.

Lynn I never realized how many bulbs you actually have around your garden and so many of them are so pretty I I planted a few new plants this season liatris Is one of them and the Montauk Daisy Is the other one and allso the cone flower Is one of my favorites
Good morning Jackie. We do have a lot of flowers both annuals and perennials. Like you, we just kept adding a couple more each year. This is the result of that commitment. Glad to see Montauk Daisy graces your garden as well. Thanks again for taking the time to watch, care and share - "Keep The Love Growing." - Lynn & Richard - www.WisconsinGarden.com
Thanks for letting me know about the liatris seeds. Didn't know that before.
Good morning Rich. Once you grow Liatris, you'll probably want them year after year adding more color and beauty to your garden. Thank you for taking the time to watch, care and share - "Keep The Love Growing." - Lynn & Richard - www.WisconsinGarden.com
@@WisconsinGarden Do you replant the seeds in spring or fall?
Actually we do both. If we have some open soil in fall, we will sprinkle some on it and let the snow and leaves cover them for a spring crop. Then when spring gets here, we will plant more in other places around the yard. Hope you have many to plant. Lynn & Richard
Hi Lynn and Richard, first off, Lynn I love those skull earrings 👍👍. Those are some healthy looking canna rhizomes. Wow. You did well. We haven't had a super hard freeze in Central IL yet south of Chicago so I still have elephant ears looking so nice. 👍 Enjoyed this vid. Take care you 3. Rusty
Hello Rusty. Earring on sale at our local Dollar Store. Go figure and on sale!!!!! Yes, it surely was a bountiful crop of Canna Lilies. If you take a day-trip northward, we'd be happy to share. I think we're all getting spoiled by this mild winter. Nice to have this yearly chore finished. Thanks again for taking the time to watch, care and share - "Keep The Love Growing." - Lynn & Richard
Hope all is well up in Wisconsin. Warm day here in Northeast Georgia. It’s currently 71°!!!
Hello Craig. Oh sure, 71 and we're awaiting a major snowstorm Wednesday thru Friday up to 12". It has been another unusual winter. Thanks for taking the time to watch, care and share - "Keep The Love Growing." - Lynn & Richard - www.WisconsinGarden.com
@@WisconsinGarden Well, I’m sorry you guys will have to deal with this. yes, it was 71 when I left work , and out of curiosity checked the temp up your way and 28°. I also heard earlier some areas of Michigan are supposed to have major ice. It’s been unusual down south as well. Lots of rain and severe storms in many areas.
Nice cannas. Wow, look at your Ginko tree, pretty. I like that Peruan bulbs. I love Dahlias and gladiolas. Oh, and the rest of the flowering bulbs LOL I envy your patience to prep your tender bulbs for a winter nap. Too cool :) Yes, they're called Blazing Stars here. I've never grown them, love to add some to my garden :)
Some label both as elephant ears but the edible ones are what we call taro. To know what you have, if the petiole is directly attached at the base of the leaf, it's elephant ears. Taro's petiole is a few inches in from the base of the leaf. You can cut more of that top, bring it down to just above where it connects the corm and top. That top is full of water, why it rots the corms, I guess. We usually, keep the top with some basal plate attached to replant straight away. But, since you're storing it over winter, you save the corms like potatoes. In some countries, they eat elephant ears but it's an acquired taste because it itches your throat. Taro is nicer and a staple food for my people. We eat the leaves too. I haven't had any for a very long time. I would grow them as ornamentals if I could get some. Having them around reminds me of my childhood.
Good morning Mary. Hopefully you'll add some Blazing Star Liatris to your garden areas. Once they grow, you too will appreciate their spiky purple addition. Does it get cold enough where you have to winterize your tender bulbs or is the weather mild enough so you can leave them in the ground? You'd also love adding a Gingko tree if you don't already have one. Enjoy the coming warmth of spring.

Stopping by to say howdy and give you a bit of inspiration. I'm a vlogger too, so I'm hoping to develop my network a bit!
Hi Gary. Welcome - Glad we were able to provide a bit of inspiration for your channel as well. Can never have enough input from fellow garden lovers. Thank you for taking the time to watch, care and share - "Keep The Love Growing." - Lynn & Richard - www.WisconsinGarden.com
@@WisconsinGarden thank you for this I can't wait to retire from the army and move out to my farm in Central Missouri and have a big garden
My brother's family lives Lawson MO. Richard is a USAF veteran. Thank you for your service as well. Enjoy your farm and garden. TKS Lynn & Richard
Hi Richard and Lynn
I have a question about my Montauk Daisies. What time of year do you take the cuttings and stick directly into the ground ? I live in NY and the ground has started freezing. I love the daisies and thanks to you I acquired a few plants and enjoy the late blooming 😊
We begin propagation our Montauk Daisies in early summer (June) after they have begun normal growth. We also found that shorter cuttings (4-6") take root faster with less growth to support during the transition. We have several videos on the topic. Feel free to visit our website.

@@WisconsinGarden thank you !
Lynn do you ever divide your dahilas?
Good morning Sharon. I only divide if the clump consists of multiple stems. It's the stem and attached tubers that is the viable plant. Even then, you would have to be extremely careful in dividing without breaking off the attached tubers that store the plants energy for the following year. There is nothing wrong about keeping a clump together and enjoying a plethora of blossoms for years to come. Hope this was helpful. Thanks again for taking the time to watch, care and share - "Keep The Love Growing." - Lynn & Richard
Do you ever have to divide those big bulbs?
Hi Suzanne, yes, we do divide them, especially the cannas. You can plant one, and when you dig them up, they are just so huge. If we have space to keep them whole for the winter, we do. That helps to keep them healthier, so in spring, we can plant some and share some. :) Lynn & Richard
Can I plant Liatris on pot?
Yes, make sure it can handle Liatris that can get 2 1/2' tall after a year or two. The first year, it won't get that big. I usually grow them in the ground, but when I don't, I bury the pot in soil for the winter, just to be sure. Hope that helps.
is there any way you would ship any of your cana bulbs or where do you live. I am in Crandon but would drive
Hello Jeannie. If you're in the neighborhood, we'd be happy to share but really aren't set up for mailing plant material. Sorry. Thanks again for taking the time to watch, care and share - "Keep The Love Growing." - Lynn & Richard
@@WisconsinGarden I really don't know where you are located
We are just west of Milwaukee in the city of Brookfield. If you go to our website, you will see where we are. :)
