TweetysPlants Canna Lily

Bare-root rhizomes are dormant root systems shipped without soil or a pot. This is a standard, healthy way to transport perennials, as it reduces shipping stress and allows the plant to focus its energy on establishing roots in your specific soil once planted.

These Canna Lilies perform beautifully in both garden beds and large containers. If planting in pots, ensure you use a container with adequate drainage and enough depth to accommodate their mature height of 3 to 4 feet.

These plants are hardy in zones 8-11. If you live in a colder climate, you can treat them as annuals or dig up the rhizomes in the fall and store them indoors over the winter to replant the following spring.

For the best growth and air circulation, space your rhizomes about 1 foot apart. This spacing allows the plants to fill in nicely without overcrowding as they mature.

While they can tolerate partial shade, they will produce the most vibrant and abundant blooms when given full sun. Aim for at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal performance.
