beach chick Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 my neighbour gave me one today - anyone know what they need? I think they are of Indian origin, off to google etc but never had one before and there is no substitute for real experience! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Cannas need full sun if they can get it, plenty of water but reasonably well drained ground, they do well in pots, there are lots of different ones 'Tropicanna' being probably the most well known, my fave is 'Lucifer' The top will die back at the first frosts, you can lift the rhizomes and store them over winter and replant in spring or leave them in the ground and cover with mulch (although they may not make it through a very cold winter) Also called 'Indian Shot Plant' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
