Tuber Forcing Canna Lilies

By starting your tubers and bulbs early indoors, what's called forcing, your more likely to get a full plant into the ground, ready to bloom, earlier in the warm season. We met with horticulturist, Liz Hamilton, who tells us why she forces all her tubers and bulbs and demonstrates tuber forcing her canna lilies. She also gives lots of good forcing tricks and tips along the way.
