Canna Lily Summer and Fall-Flowering Bulb, Annual Flower Canna sp. Cannaceae Family Cana Lilies have large leaves that resemble those of banana plants, and tall spikes of showy flowers, that bring a tropical feel to the summer garden. The tender bulbs must be dug and stored over winter. Site Characteristics Plant Traits Special Considerations Sunlight: Lifecycle: annual Special characteristics: full sun Tropical perennial (hardy in Zone 8) grown as an annual. Soil conditions: Ease-of-care: moderately difficult non-aggressive non-invasive not native to North America Product of horticultural selection. Parents native to requires well-drained soil Height: 3 to 8 feet tropical areas of Asia and the Americas. Prefer fertile, moist but well-drained soil. Some dwarfs grow just 2 feet tall. Spread: 1.5 to 2.5 feet Bloom time: mid-summer late summer early fall Flower color: red orange yellow pink Foliage color: light green medium green dark green purple gray-green blue-green variegated Leaves may be any shade of green, or flushed with purple, bronze or brown, or striped and marked with yellow, cream, orange or red. Foliage texture: coarse Leaves are large and bold. Shape: upright Shape in flower: flower stalks with upright spikes Blooms borne in a raceme at the top of the plant stem. Growing Information How to plant: Propagate by division or separation - Divide the rhizomes when planting after danger of frost has passed in spring. Each segment should have a strong, healthy "eye." For earlier flowering, plant the rhizomes indoors in trays of peat moss in early spring. When the plants sprout, move them to individual pots, keeping them indoors in full sun until all frost danger has passed. Plant them out in the garden where desired. Maintenance and care: Keep watered but not soggy. Plants fo not usually require staking. Keep deadheaded for best blooms. Cut the plants back after the first large fall frost, dig them, and bring them indoors. Store them with their soil in a well-ventilated area for the winter. In dry storage, place the soil covered rhizomes in peat moss for overwintering.
