Developing cannas in your nursery is a simple method to make moment tropical energy. Cannas are tropical and subtropical blossoming plants with huge, banana-like leaves. Cannas’ prevalence and dynamic hybridizing have brought about a stunning cluster of cannas to browse, numerous with huge, garish blossoms and variegated leaves that seem as though recolored glass when the sun radiates through them.
Striking blossoms in any case, cannas are regularly developed for their foliage alone. The enormous, paddle-like leaves arrive in a scope of greens and blue-greens and can have variegation and stripes. To some degree cylindrical and lily-like, Canna blossoms come in shades and blends of yellow, orange, red, and pink and are borne on tall stalks jabbing out of the foliage.
Light-Cannas do best in full sun. This means they may need more water in really hot climates, but they need heat to spur their growth.
Soil-Plant cannas in rich, moist soil, ideally with a slightly acid to neutral soil pH.
Water-Cannas need lots of water and are plants that actually prefer “wet feet” (most garden plants don’t). You can even grow them in sitting water. Insufficient water will cause the leaves to tear or crack.
Temperature and Humidity-Blooming depend on the climate and weather. In areas with cool springs, the plants may be slow to get started. Potting them up indoors, before your last frost date, and moving them out while they are already growing, will help them bloom earlier. As tropical plants, cannas prefer humid air but can tolerate relative dryness, especially if they are properly watered.
Fertilizer-In addition to needing lots of water, cannas are hungry plants, although they store some food in their rhizomes. Feed them in early spring and midsummer, using a balanced fertilizer.
