Common Questions
How long can canna lily live?
When the plant is properly overwintered and cared for, expect a canna lily to live for three to five years. Dividing the plant regularly can extend its life even further.
Where should I place a canna lily in my house?
A south-facing window should provide plenty of bright light and warmth for a canna lily to grow indoors.
Can you divide canna plants?
You can divide canna plants by splitting the rhizomes into sections and replanting them. Each section should have two to three "eyes" or growing points.
How often should I divide canna plants?
If you live in a warm climate where you can leave the rhizomes in the ground during the winter, divide them when they begin to become overcrowded. The timing depends on how well they grow in their location, but a rule of thumb is every two to three years.
Why are my leaves turning yellow?
The most common reason canna leaves turn yellow is too little or too much water or sunlight.
Why aren’t my cannas blooming?
This can happen when the plants do not have enough sunlight or are receiving too much fertilizer. Cannas need full sun and should only be fertilized with a slow release fertilizer designed for flowering plants.
Can I grow cannas in water?
Cannas do like moist soils and can grow even in water if the conditions are warm. They will rot in cool wet soils. Never leave them over the winter in wet soils.
Do I need to deadhead cannas?
For a longer bloom season you will need to deadhead your cannas.

Canna Indica (Large Flowered Hybrids) - Growing Cannas from Canna Indica seeds is extremely rewarding and brings a striking perennial to the landscape that gives a full season of color. This Canna Lily can grow up to 48 inches tall and gives a wonderful display with its colorful foliage and blooms of intense color. Canna seed is one of the largest flower seeds you will find at only 5 seeds per gram. Due to this factor, it is best to soak the flower seeds for 24 - 48 hours before planting to soften the seed coat. For even faster germination, file or nick the Canna Lily seeds before planting. Canna seeds should germinate in 8 - 12 days at 72F.
Cut old spent flowers and seed pods to encourage repeated flowering late into the autumn season. Canna plants should be spaced 9 - 18 inches apart depending on the size of the varieties used and the effect desired. In dry weather, watering Canna Lily plants once a week will insure a stronger growth. Another common name for Canna Indica is Indian Shot.
