Did you get a root while you were there?
I have a big bush of canna in my garden , but don’t know if it is an edible canna or not. They have 2 shades of green stripe foliage. They look like the canna at 0:46 at your video here. I wish I could use the leaves for wrapping food for steaming or boiling. Thanks
This is really one of the best videos about canna lily care that I have seen. Thank you!
I live in Puerto Rico., in Caribe. Recently, I bought some of these beautiful plant. I hope then grow health. I enjoy your programs.
Useful info. Quite demanding plants.
Very helpful information and great looking specimens 👍🏼

Someone I know whacks the tops off about an inch from the ground before winter every year and they won’t go away.

Thank you! My not so close neighbor just gave me some canna lilies. I’ve never grown them before. She showed pictures of them so I know they’re red and quite tall. I’m in Idaho zone 5a so I’ll need to bring them in, which is why she had them to easily share.

Great tip about storing the rhizomes with a little peat moss

I had no idea how big they get. My canna have reached over 11 foot. All my friends who have them,.theirs are 6 to 9 ft. I think the reason is we planted ours in 12 inches of 1 year old mushroom mulch.
Great video so, so helpful. Thanks to both of you.

Are canna’s toxic?
Very informative video!!! Can you please tell me, when you store them for the winter, do you cut the stems down or do you let it die back on their own before storing…
Hi luckily I stumbled onto your channel and its great thanks but i need help please. I have green and purple canna I recently planted at my new home from an extremely old stock I had at my old house. They took off as they do in south Alabama as its a tropical type environment super humid always and hot. I’m glad they took to their new home but something’s chewing up the leaves bad they look sick almost all chewed like that. I been thinking snails but I’m not sure. Have any thoughts? Anything I can do? Thanks in advance greetings from the States
Please helpme with my leaves are turning brown and becoming dry. Too much or to little water pleae help my it is 6 foot tall.
Hi. My canna was planted in a pot in spring and the foliage has grown wonderfully. However it has not flowered. It is in full sun, watered daily in hot weather and fed once a week. I live in South of UK. Any ideas where I have gone wrong? Thank you
I was gifted several canna lilies several years ago. I have found them to be very resilient. I don’t dig them up in winter and I have some in the shade that have done very well.
I really want to purchase the Canna AnnJee- I am in the US, is there a known source so I could try them here in the USA?
I’m so glad I found your channel! I am just starting to trial in containers and beds up here in Alaska. I’m hoping to winter the tubers and possibly keep them from going dormant as a house plant.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
2 easy👍👍
Would be useful to have a similar video on banana varieties
I’ve got some impressive pot grown Cannes that are great but here in Kent, England we have a really big infestation of slugs due to heavy rainy days that have made my life a misery because slugs love my Cannas. I’ve tried slug pellets but to no avail and I’m sure the slugs are living in my pots. Any ideas woukd be welcome.
Vedio is very nice. Can I buy these seeds ? I’m from Sri Lanka
Very informative, thank you. Canna’s are my new passion. I garden in zone 6A in New Hampshire, USA
You guys should check http://www.vanhaastercanna.nl there a Professional grower from the Netherlands and sell directly to people. I know they ship to whole of europe, America and Australia i don’t know.
I was hoping to see how to separate the rhizomes from the stalk to winter them. Leave spider roots on or off? Ok to use shears to separate?
Buenas noches a mi.me gustaria comprarle camotitos o semillas
