The Orange canna lily is a tall rhizomous perennial with impressive inflorescences and an intriguing growth form. It produces thick, stiff stems and large, oval leaves. Spiky clusters of flowers form at the end of thick stalks. They adorn canna lily plants from mid-summer to first frost. Presented species impresses both with its form and unique flowers. That is why it is liked by many gardeners. Orange canna lily enchants when planted single in a pot or on the edge of a lawn, but it looks so much better in a larger group, in the background of a flower bed, and along building walls.

Canna lily originates from a warm and humid climate and can be planted in the garden only after the risk of frost has gone. You can shorten the long growing season and speed up development of plants by planting rhizomes earlier (in March) in pots. Forcing seedlings helps plants produce flowers faster. Sunny sites that are sheltered from the wind suit canna lily best. This plant requires good quality soil that is rich in nutrients. The canna lilies need plenty of water too. It is particularly important during the period of intensive growth. Presented, magnificent species needs regular fertilization with compost or multi-component liquid preparations.

Canna lily does not belong to hardy plants, its rhizomes must be dug up in the fall and stored in the right conditions until replanting the next season. You can grow canna lily that way for many years. Split the overgrown rhizomes to reproduce the plant.
