Canna lilies do best when planted in full sun (8+ hours a day). Once the rhizomes have sprouted and you have leaves, be sure to provide plenty of water for your canna lilies.
PLANTING INFORMATION
1. Planting: Dig a hole twice the size of the plant’s root ball in a location with full sun. Make sure to keep the Canna Lily level with the soil as you place it in the hole and backfill it. Give it a good watering immediately after planting.
If planting in a container, heavier pots will help the top-heavy plants from toppling over in the wind. Make sure to use good-quality potting soil and plant in a container with drainage holes.
The Red Velvet Canna Lily is hardy in zones 8-11. Colder areas can add Canna Lilies to their garden as annuals.
2. Watering: As a tropical plant, Canna Lilies like humid conditions. Water regularly during the hot season and when there isn’t any rainfall. Don’t let your Canna Lily sit in soggy soil.
3. Fertilizing: To encourage blooming, fertilize with water soluble fertilizer every other week or once a month with a slow-release fertilizer. Canna Lilies planted in the soil will require less frequent fertilizing.
4. Pruning: Remove dead flowers to encourage more blooms.
