How do I care for a Canna Lilly?

I know that I have to bring it in during the winter months but that is about it?

How do I care for a Canna Lilly?
This is what I found on another answers site. There is more information on the link.








Debra from the USA I've got calla Lilly's, white, black and pink. They're my favorite flower. They are easy to grow. In answering some of these questions, I'll explane the prosses they go through, through-out the year.





First, if you move or re-pot or split the callas they die back, not dying, but only to rid of shocked leaves. They quickly grow back. Health and new. All during the winter, I had healthy tall leaves. In the White calla garden, when spring hits, I had flowers galore. They seem to only last till the hot sun comes, around June. Always cutting the old leaves and ugly flowers, makes the calla's look fresh. That also help the groth of new flower and leaves.





After the spring flowers have opened, you'll have leaves falling, and new ones comming up from under. Cut the old ones back. Leaving any flowers and new leaves. The bulbs under the ground are multipling. So you will have more next year. I have my white callas in full sun. They really love it. I water every day, keeping the groung moist, but not wet.





I live 40 miles in land from San Fransico, so it gets pretty hot,In the summer, It's never under 70. The winters are as low as 30%. Always clipping my callas of old flowers and leaves is the secret to a beautiful and happy plant.





Now the pink callas I have in a pot, and they Hate the sun. They were dormant during the winter. The leaves died back. When spring came, I gave the pot some full sun to boost it, into growing. As soon as the flowers came up, I moved it to the shade. I'll have double the flowers next year. I have the bulbs in a pot with Asian Lillys. There happy being watered daily, but not wet.





The black callas were here when I moved in my house three years ago. There in the shade, and grow close to the grund. Only 8 inches high. Spreading just like a bulb. I've had two flowers in three years. I think that's why the are $44.00 a bulb.

Canna lilly care





Q. I am new to growing canna lillies. I live near the Idaho/Utah border. Does it get cold enough up here to have to dig up the cannas in winter?, or will they be OK in the ground? Any other tips you can provide will help. Thanks. P.S. Your site rocks!

A. Thanks for the kind words! I'd dig those babies up if I were in your zone...brrr....But I have very fond memories of summer in your part of the world, especially the color of the sky. Anyway, dig the bulbs, brush the dirt off, and store in a ventilated bag (like an onion bag or pantyhose). It's even better if you can put sawdust or cedar shavings or something in between the cannas in storage so they don't touch each other. Don't let them freeze in storage, either!
