- Canna lily is one of the plants I’ve fallen in love with over the years as I’ve learned about different plants and had a chance to try them for myself in the garden. This plant is a powerhouse that give a lot of bang for the buck.
Here is the video on germinating canna seeds:

Hi I’m new to cannas. I have purchased rhizomes and planted them in small pots, to get them started as I’m in a colder zone. It’s unusually warm here this week (80 degrees )Should they be outside now and brought in when cold? (Next week lows will be in the 50’s)
Or kept inside in pots until a certain point ?
Thank you so much
It’s the nighttime dips that get them. So if you guys aren’t going below 40-45 at night, it should be fine. It’s just that morning frost that’s the problem for them. Hope that helps 😊
@@Garden-Oasis thank you so much! At this point the sun is also good for them?
@@heathpars210 they are full sun tropicals. Not only is the sun good for them, they need it. So if you can’t take them outside just yet, put them in a south facing window
OR (if you have the energy for it) take them out in the daytime and bring them in at night (to avoid the morning frost). But if you’re going to do that, you’ll have to slowly get them used to being in full sun. The leaves will burn if you put them out in full sun right away. So first leave them in the outside shade during the day for a week, then leave them in full sun during the day after that. But you’ll still have to bring them in at night if you have morning frost. If not, you can just leave them out there.
@@Garden-Oasis awesome, thanks for the help. I am so excited about these !! I have purchased canna Phasion (Tropicanna) and Pretoria.
Like I said I’m new to rhizomes…. Is it correct to water when I put them into the pots, then not again until I see growth?
@@heathpars210 oh yes, the striped ones 👍 those are beautiful! Good luck 😊🌸
What can i do to avoid grasshopper it eats all the leaves of my canna tku
Thanks for watching! 🙂
Personally, I try not to interfere with the natural happenings of my garden. I don’t spray any pesticides and just let the bugs do what they want.. However, I do realize that people have different preferences and if the grasshoppers bother you, you could spray pesticides on the cannas to stop it from happening. Just know that you won’t just be killing the grasshoppers, pesticides kill all the insects, including pollinators, so you probably won’t get any seeds to collect for next year. Good luck 👍
