Cannas may be planted in the spring after danger from frost. Best results are achieved when planted in a loose, fertile and well-draining soil that has warmed to at least 60 degrees. Here in zone 7 we recommend planting from late March to late April. Adjust this guideline to your zone. Before spring planting, soil can be amended with compost, manure and a high nitrogen fertilizer. Cannas will tolerate a wide range of growing conditions. Cannas love sun and require a minimum of four hours of direct sunlight.
Plant rhizomes 12 to 18 inches apart. Lay the long part of the rhizome horizontal to the earth’s surface with eye up, if visible. This is not critical, as cannas will grow no matter which direction they are planted. Cannas are best planted in shallow, warm ground covered with just about two inches of soil.
In colder regions, (6-8 weeks before spring), bulbs can be planted in pots and placed in greenhouse conditions. When danger of frost is past, remove from pot and plant outside. Cultivate often to keep soil loose and free of weeds.
Cannas should be watered thoroughly once a week by slowly soaking the area around roots. Cannas are heavy feeders. For optimum performance apply a high nitrogen, foliar fertilizer twice a month. Organic matter turned into the soil, such as composted manure, will provide a great benefit as well. Although cannas will continue to bloom if not dead-headed, cutting old spent flowers and seed pods will make them prettier and neater in the garden.
Insects rarely bother cannas. Leaf-feeding insects and leaf-rolling caterpillars can be stopped by regular applications of systemic insecticide products such as Ortho Systemic Insect Killer.
Cannas will multiply by producing 3 to 5 new rhizomes for each one planted. Dig clumps of bulbs in the late fall or after the first frost for re-planting the following spring.
The most common mistake is allowing the canna rhizomes to dry out too much while in storage.
Two methods of storage are:
Rhizomes must not be allowed to freeze during storage. The ideal storage temperature is 50 degrees.
IN SOUTHERN STATES (zone 7-10) where the ground doesn't freeze below four to six inches, cannas can be left in the ground all winter. Cut foliage down to the ground and if needed, cover flowerbed with six to twelve inches of grass clippings, leaves, compost, hay straw, etc. Cannas can be thinned in the spring every two to three years by digging out thick areas of bulbs to allow spacing between the plants.
I bought my Chinese coral, at the same time that I bought several others Kreta, and some very easy growers. This one though, I waited and waited even through a move I waited! It wasn’t until this summer- THIS SUMMER!! She is fabulous! The colors in this bulb? They are so worth waiting for!!
My cannas started blooming about a week ago, and I couldn’t be more pleased. Their color is superb, adding a spot of cheeriness around my pool. I was concerned that I might not see good flowering in the first year, but every rhizome that I planted properly (I planted three in too much shade, my bad) has grown incredibly well. The leaves of these cannas are a fresh summer green, which perfectly complements the vibrant peachy pink of the flower. Beautiful!
Huge blooms! Beautiful contrast with the giant bluish green leaves!
New favorite ????
Beautiful pink blooms with bluish green foliage. Loved the combo. I'm just bummed she didn't come back this year
Planted my Chinese coral canna rhizomes this weekend. I have never received such wonderful rhizomes before from any other companies that I have tried. I am so impressed by the size any quality of these canna bulbs. HORN will be my forever place to order my cannas. Thank you so much, can't wait for them to bloom!
