- Welcome to our little Zone 5 homestead!
My name is Ciearra and I love to grow plants. My mission is to be able to grow and give away food and plants. As we learn more our homestead expands from more garden beds, raised beds to now chickens. Raising chickens has always been a hope of mine and now I actually live in an area where I can have them! Thank you so much for all of your support as we grow, learn and take homesteading head-on!
I love growing Canna Lilies in my garden. That add a tropical touch to the garden that I need.

I also live in zone 5b and grow all of mine in containers. I do leave mine in pots in my garage which gets down to about 35 at the coldest. I let the pots fully dry, then wrap the pots in bubble pack and brown paper (so they don't get any light). I never do anything to them all winter. I unwrap the pots and put them out on April 1 and start watering and fertilizing them. They go outside during the day and back in the garage at night until the end of May when it's safe for them to stay out 24/7. Cannas for us require special care so I consider them a labor of love.
I wish I could do that! It would make things easier. My pots are too big to drag them into my basement. They are a labor of love
That's most beautiful cannas i ever saw! 😍
Thank you!!
I use your method also. It works for me too.
Newly retired, decided to switch planter boxes to tropical. Had palms, found green & red bananas, giant bird/paradise, bromeliads. Finally discovered cordylines and cannas that can take SoCal full sun…bulb orders next spring, should be some fun😅
Oh that sounds wonderful! Your going to have a tropical paradise!
Trying growing these for first time. Took them from my mother's yard to save before selling her house. My question for you is, how far down do you cut the stalk over to regrow the blooms?
I especially you like Tropicana varieties… Gorgeous
Yes!!! So beautiful
Holy moly this was a great video! Thank yiu!
Awww Thank you so much!!!
Looking forward to the canna Lilly, elephant ears and banana plant winter storage methods you share. 🌺💚🙃
Thank you Cutie! Very informative video! 🌺💚🙃
Thank you!
Thank you for the video, full of personal insight and really appreciated
Thank you!!!
Videos are always great thanks!
Yes those tall ones are Canna Musifolia no mistake they can get to 10’ tall. Curious I’m assuming yours got full sun cause it looked like they had afternoon shade. Nice job with these great overwintering. As you asked you should cut the bloom to get more blooms. I live in panhandle if Florida zone 9A and able to keep mine in ground overwinter
I would love to keep mine in ground like you. Do yours keep growing all year round or do they have a period of rest?
I need those elephant ears !
You gotta get some!
Your videos are so informative...love them!!! I also love cannas and garden in zone 5b. I started some from seed for the first time last winter. I can't wait to do it again...just need to start sooner so they can grow to their full potential.
Thank you so much! They are so cute as seedlings! How tall did yours get this year? Are you saving any seeds this year too?
I will try container planting my cannas next year. I love the growth on yours. Mine never get that tall and full. But, I'll have to start from scratch. I have no luck trying to overwinter mine indoors.
I think that I’m going to try an find some banana cannas next year! 🌺💚🙃
Also I THINK that I’m going to TRY and find all of the unusual cannas to grow next year! The problem with mail ordering them is when I need to get them started there’s a huge chance that the tubers will freeze in the mail. When the companies send them out it’s almost too late to start them indoors 😢oh well I’ll figure it out maybe. 🌺💚🙃
Order from Holland Bulbs. Perfectly shipping date for your zone. If you pre-order, it's shipped right at time to plant. Holland has great sales. 🎉❤
It’s amazing how some people I know think that I shouldn’t grow Cannas… Because they’re not “native plants” … when I garden I like to mix whatever looks nice in my garden … People say oh I want to only plant local and only eat local… But if you live in the north and you get an orange ..”I’ll eat that”… And they don’t even think that it’s non-native to this area and has to travel from someplace like California or Florida before it gets into our mouth…😂
Yes!!!! People can get hung up on “native” and local food but depending on your climate you can always grow everything you like to eat year round. Like you said a mix of natives and non are a good idea
Beautifully designed. How many Cannas do you plant in a flower pot for outdoors. How do you determine the distance and depth. I ordered the red Presidents
canna. First time planting.
Thank you so much! When I’m planing them outside I pack as many as I can get in a large pot. That’s how I get that full look to them. I plant them right at the soil line. Unless your starting with tubers then plant them 2-4 inches under the soil
I also live in 5B Washington dc. I will be planting in my yard as well. Given my zone location, do I dig them up or leave in ground. As mentioned, I'm new at this. Your video inspire me. TYSM ❤
I am not sure. I left one in ground last year and am waiting to see if it comes back. Many other gardeners have had success leaving theirs in ground. Especially if they are planted close to the foundation of your home . You can experiment this year and leave some in ground and dig some up. Then see what happens next year. 💚💚💚
I know nothing about zones! I live in zone 8. Can I grow Canna Lillie's? Please 🎉
Yes you can grow them! 💚💚💚💚
I want to mix my canna lilys in with my sunflowers I live in Illinois n plan to put them in the ground
Have you ever cut the plant back and tried keeping it in a pot over the winter? I'm in zone 5A, wondering if that will work for me.
I did that in my detached garage and they didn't make it. If I put them in my basement they would probably survive. If you have an attached garage they will do well
I am so jealous of your beautiful cannas. I live in Atlanta and have dealt with awful leaf roller infestations on my cannas. Do you have pest issues with your cannas and how do you treat them? Thanks
You know I don't really deal with any pests on them. Sometimes the Japanese Beetles will get my Cannas in the front in June but after that nothing really bothers them.
What fertilizer do you recommend?
I love fish emulsion for my plants but I use a lot or a combination of things
Thank you! I love using fish emulsion too.
Large plant containers are soooo expensive in the spring!
Sooooo Expensive! Everything is just getting more and more expensive now
What always impresses me photos of “Stuttgart” variety of Canna … but whenever I’ve ordered them, they always are disappointing… The rhizomes don’t look good and they never grow like they’re supposed to… Oh well
Yes, it’s so disappointing when they don’t live up to the pictures. It starts with healthy rhizomes and good care taking 💚
