| I recieved two fairly large President Canna in a GW trade, I am unsure if i should pot them up for a few weeks, keeping them in the house or plant them dierectly into the ground?? the area i will be planting them in gets direct sunlight, until around noon each day...then partial shade. I am in zone 6a, connecticut
Any suggestions?? this is my first year with Cannas thanks Trish |

| Don't plant them into the ground until ALL danger of frost is over. You know your area for that. If you want them to bloom as early as possible, I would give them an early start in a large pot. What I did with mine ( zone 5), is pot them in a large one or two gallon pot ( dependent upon the size of the tuber), then put it out on warm days, but at night I carry them back into the garage. They don't like the cold, but would benefit from the time to form a good root system. ..... just my humble opinion. |
