Starship Canna Lily

It depends on your climate. This plant is a perennial in zones 7-10, meaning it will return year after year. In zones 3-6, it is treated as an annual, so you will need to replant it each season or dig up and store the rhizomes indoors over the winter.

Yes, it is an excellent choice for containers. Because it grows to a lush 3-4 feet, ensure you use a pot large enough to support its height and keep the soil consistently moist.

For the best performance and continuous blooming, plant it in a spot that receives full sun. While it can tolerate some light shade, you will get the most vibrant flowers and fastest growth with at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight daily.

This variety is highly deer resistant, making it a reliable choice for gardens where deer pressure is a concern. While no plant is completely deer-proof, it is rarely a target for them.

Canna Lilies thrive in moist, well-drained soil. They are quite thirsty, so aim to keep the soil consistently damp rather than letting it dry out completely between waterings.

You can expect blooms from mid-summer until the first frost. Because it grows rapidly, you will see the tropical foliage fill in quickly, followed by the large, spotted flowers as the season progresses.
