Canna Lily
Plant’s Nirvana
SKU: PN021
Canna lilies are bold, tropical-looking, herbaceous perennial plants that are summer bloomers for the south.
Height
Depending on the variety, cannas can grow a few feet tall to more than 10 feet tall. Dwarf varieties look great in large containers combined with petunias, sweet potato vines, and other low-growing annuals.
Winter care and storage
Canna bulbs must be stored over winter in a place not reaching below freezing so they can be planted in early spring. Dig up the canna bulbs after the first killer frost of the fall. Shake off the soil from the bulb. If the soil is caked on, rinse the bulb in warm water.

Fertilizer
Cannas are not terribly picky when it comes to fertilizer. Cannas easily bloom all summer without much effort. For those of you who want to give your plants an extra boost, we recommend applying 5-10-5 or 10-10-10 two or three times during the growing season.
