Fall is the time to plant bulbs for spring flowers. Here is a list of companies that sell bulbs — some specialize in the fall-planted, spring-blooming bulbs like daffodils, while others focus on the summer plants like dahlias and caladiums.

Oh, I was already looking at Canna! We can plant them through winter here, but they do not become available until after winter. Then, I wait for the sales at the end of the season. They do not get much time to grow before autumn, but I enjoy them anyway. We certainly do not need any more. We already have enough canned in the nursery for a row more than 150 feet long!
