Canna
- This tall perennial has large, broad leaves and a long stem which bears several white, yellow, orange or red flowers.
- Cannas love the
 and will require rich that isn’t too high in nitrogen.
- They need to be kept well watered but not soggy.
- After the last spring frost, plant rhizomes just below the surface 12 to 18 inches apart (30 to 45 cm).
- Cannas do not require thinning if they are planted far enough apart. Remember they grow quite large.
- They will grow between 3 to 4 feet tall (1 to 1.5 m).
- In the fall after the first light frost darkens the leaves cut off the stems and dig out the rhizomes. Gently brush of any dirt. They can be saved indoors and replanted year after year.
- Allow them to dry and store them in a cardboard box in a
 place about 10°C (50°F) until you want to replant them in the spring.
