The Garden Coach

Due to the unseasonably warm winter we are experiencing, it REALLY is almost time to start shipping cannas. (It was in the mid 70's here in Oklahoma today!) Our warm-weathered, southern friends should receive their cannas first as their soil temperatures are conducive to healthy growing cannas. Then we'll quickly begin shipping cannas further north as the spring warms. REMEMBER: average soil temperatures of at least 60 degrees provide the very best start for cannas. This does not directly relate to daytime temperatures though. Some state agriculture sites record daily soil temperatures. Or, you can easily do it yourself with an "old fashioned" glass thermometer. It may be easier to make a hole before measuring the soil, especially if the soil is unusually hard or dry. If in doubt, wait! It's always better to plant cannas a little later rather than too early in cold soil.

Shipping season will last into June or until we are sold out. Please let us know how we may be of service to you! Thanks for stopping by our site.
