Canna is a perennial gardening plant, she loves warm climate. Growing canna bulbs is about patient!

The first day we bought her, she was a 12.5 cm (about 5 inches) tall young plant. This water Canna are able to sit on the 15cm depth of water. We set her in a plastic basket with a mix of 20% potting soil and 80% sand mix.

She needs almost no care, besides trimming away her died down flower petals and feed her some chlorine free natural mineral water as the fertilizers; during the flowers blooming period; and you can rely the rest on the nature.

Canna rolling up her flower buds slowing after 2 months. Her flowers appeared one by one in days; and we discovered quite a numbers of ladybugs were chasing in and out from the heart of her organic flowers.

Canna flowers are like tulips: Too much rain fall or too extreme sunlight will destroy them easily. How long the blossom last is; all depends on the nature.

You can invite this excellent flower plant to your water garden landscape or the bog garden water; or in a small garden pond.

We left her alone and kept her in the backyard pond over the winter just like the other water plants. If the last spring frost did not go down to minus 20°C so extreme; she could be able to stay with us for longer time.

As the weather will be more and more extreme these days, so it is better to keep your canna bulbs early in the greenhouse; or indoors with a little protection before the unexpected hard frost's arrival.

If you prefer to grow them not in a pond; you can also grow them in any damp area in your natural garden; as they are water loving plants.
