Growing tropicas from bulbs #867568

Asked May 08, 2024, 12:47 PM EDT

I’m curious- in our zone (Mpls suburbs), if I plant elephant ear and caladium bulbs this week - in containers outdoors, how long might it take to start growing? (I’m debating planting bulbs for cost efficiency vs buying plants). Thanks for your help!

They certainly will start to grow.  It will take a few weeks to reach the full size but there is plenty of summer ahead.  Go for it.
