How to Grow Canna Lilies
All canna flowers make impressive additions to floral arrangements. Cannas are winter hardy in
zones 7 to 10 but perform well in zones 3 to 7 if lifted in the fall. When planting canna bulbs, keep in mind that they grow best in moist, fertile soil. Planting depth and spacing will vary by type, but all canna plants prefer full sun. In cooler climates, you may wish to start them indoors and transplant them in late spring, around the time you'd plant tomatoes. As long as they have a good supply of water, perennial canna plants will grow without much pampering.
When to Plant Canna Lilies
Depending on the variety, blooming may last from late spring through early fall. Canna Lily Bulbs look glorious when planted en masse, creating a riot of bright, tropical colours when in full bloom. Create a jungle in your yard by pairing the canna bulbs with vining
perennials,
elephant ears, and
hibiscus. Combine tall canna varieties with dwarf canna cultivars in beds and along back borders. The variations in height make for stunning layering, and the lush,
long-lasting foliage can hide the spent stalks of spring bloomers. Dwarf cannas also make wonderful compact container plants to add flair to your patio.

How Tall do Canna Lilies Get?
