Tropical-looking plant with large leaves and flowers. They like plenty of heat and moist, fertile soil. Group plantings offer quite a dramatic presentation or in a container where they can fill in the space nicely. They also require monthly fertilizer that is relatively higher in phosphate for continual bloom. As flowers fade, deadhead to promote continued flowering. After the flower stem has been deadheaded several times and is no longer producing flowers, cut the flower stem and any attached foliage to the ground, as this can help nearby cannas get more light and flower themselves. (If you prefer, just cut the stem back to the foliage, which will last until the first frost.) It’s usually necessary to dig up and store canna rhizomes in the fall right after the first killing frost and to store in a dry place over the winter with temperatures of 45 to 50 degrees. (Such as a garage of attic). Don't let them dry out sprinkle the soil around it if necessary and replant in early Spring.
