Thank You Guys! 😍

What a very helpful video! Thank you for taking the time to share this!

Fabulous video,thank you.There's nothing 'coarse' about liking big flowers! I adore them too, what's not to love... beautiful foliage AND big flowers.Just visited Great Dixter the other day, it's always an inspiration.

Tremendously helpful information here. Thank you.

Very informative, thank you. Canna's are my new passion. I garden in zone 6A in New Hampshire, USA

Great video so, so helpful. Thanks to both of you.

I love cannas. Always have since my childhood. They are so beautiful.

thank you very much! Such an informative video, been looking for more detailed information on growing cannas :) such glorious tropical plants.

Enjoyed your easy going manner and informative tips. Look forward to future mini-lectures.

Alexandra, THANK YOU ever so much for your absolutely WONDERFUL videos and information om gardening and plants. This was one of my favorite! 🌸 Just want to take the opportunity to thank you and to say, everything 'gardening' has become easier with the guidance from these videos and your book. Much appreciated!

Very helpful, thanks!

Thank you from Colorado. You are now my canna maintenance source. I didn't want your expertise to end.

Thank you so much for the nice tips.

Thank you. I will be trying cannas! They are stunning!

I live in Puerto Rico., in Caribe. Recently, I bought some of these beautiful plant. I hope then grow health. I enjoy your programs.

Best video on cannas by far from Richard FitzGerald

This is really one of the best videos about canna lily care that I have seen. Thank you!

That was brilliant information 👍🏻 I was going to grow cannas this year so this has been a great help 😊

great tips thank you

Such great information! Thank you ❤

I have found myself a Canna mummy for the first time! The council were going to mulch them so I saved some! Didn't have a clue how to care for them, so this is wonderful thanks!! :) Fingers crossed for success next year. Subscribed.

Thank you! My not so close neighbor just gave me some canna lilies. I've never grown them before. She showed pictures of them so I know they're red and quite tall. I'm in Idaho zone 5a so I'll need to bring them in, which is why she had them to easily share.

I planted canna lily in a short but wide container and it grew so tall and started blooming couple of days back.Beautiful flowers and I get sweet surprise every morn with more and more flowers.Oh ,did I tell ,I am a canma (Canna lily Grandma ) now ? I see two cute baby plants .This plant just brings me so much joy.

I LOVE!! Tall Cana Lillies!! Red is my favorite,no orange,no yellow! I ❤️❤️❤️❤️em!!!!

Useful info. Quite demanding plants.

Great tip about storing the rhizomes with a little peat moss

Canna’s are wonderful

I’ve only just found you! Awesome vlogs!

What an elegant yellow/red leopard Canna @ 1:05. Thank you from Granite Bay, California. At one time back in the 1980 s /1990 s I had these and a few different other breeds of these Cannas, now you can't find these anywhere around northern Ca.

Very helpful information and great looking specimens 👍🏼

Very informative. Thank you

I love u both!! Thanks!

Morning very new to cannas ,truly appreciated your indept explanation especially in the different time zone ,I'm in Connecticut USA ,in the winter will have to remove and store the rizhomes. Thanks again for this very informative video, happy gardening ,stay safe❤

Great interview and so helpful. We have a few giant cannas and will feed eeeeeven more. We also leave ours in the ground over winter. Thanks for the information.

Same people call them "poor man's plant",but that's OK I love Canna! The colorful leaves and flowers are bautiful! The plants are wonderful to care for. Thanks you for sharing.

Thanks for the information 👍❤️😊

İ love cannas

My mother gave me a couple small ones from her home and my entire side fencing is now completely bordered with them after 2-3 years. Low maintenance, entirely snip them down when winter comes (Texas), then they regrow in the spring.

So complete! I had no idea that cannas came in different heights. I'd found it difficult to add real color n sturdy height to my deep flower beds. I do enjoy the different folliage. I've been enjoying having my first cannas ever. It's 19th of August here in France and we've already had 2 very severe heat waves. We had the hottest temperature ever recorded in Paris n in other parts of France. My garden suffered greatly but the cannas lived on beautifully. I'm going to rethink big parts of my garden in order to take into consideration these huge climate changes n I will certainly take into account yr advice as I will certainly add more cannas. I'm already looking forward to choosing new ones. Many thanks.

Hi, I love my cannas. Thanks for the great advice. Just wondering if it is suitable to fertilise my water cannas which are in ponds with the same fertiliser I use on my in ground cannas which is 'Rooster Booster' as well as potash? The reason I ask is that I have numerous frogs, tadpoles and frogs eggs. I don't want to harm these creatures in any way.

I've just moved to SW FL (USA) and am interested in Canna Lillies. This was very helpful. Thank you!

You gave me excellent tips ! Thank you Sir .

I'm so glad I found your channel! I am just starting to trial in containers and beds up here in Alaska. I'm hoping to winter the tubers and possibly keep them from going dormant as a house plant. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Thanks for the advice. I learn't so much in such a short time.

PS I clicked subscribeand when I click the like button I was the 800 person that like your video thank you once again for this great video about a new love I have at the age of 70!

I love this Mexican’s native plant they are beautiful and the leaves almost look like banana leaves☀️🌱😘 thank you for this video

Having had the pleasure of a short term job in Melbourne, I would mention the canna bed in the Botanic Garden. It is connected I believe to the storm drain system from the adjoining roads. When I first visited in October there was nothing much there, but then in January it was ablaze with colour. The roots are used to filter and clean the run-off, which as no doubt you'll know can be considerable in temperate Melbourne. Perhaps you could do a video from there one day, and talk about those Australian plants that will live in the UK?

What a great video, really love that. Hope to see more soon. SurvivalAustria

Thanks for all the great advice. I bought my first cannas last summer at our local supermarket plant section after the hubby was blown away by the showey blooms I planted one each in a large pot surrounded by mini decorative ivy and scaevola, they weren't one of the tallest cannas but they were definitely impressive as I made them the centre of the show lol they lasted well into November. Being in Northern Europe I followed advice to lift seperate and store in the shed. But to be honest it was such a hard job with such heavy pots I only got one pot done I covered the other pot with barkchips and wrapped it up like a baby lol. And to my amazement I dug down and can see nice green shoots. Love love love this plant.

I bought some from walmart beautiful plants

Would be useful to have a similar video on banana varieties

I don't know much about cannas I was always worried that they would get too tall and topple over or whatever... So I appreciate the information you put it on this video very very much! Especially the information about cutting back the branch that has quit flowering because it'll make the plant grow a new shoot. I'm very ignorant I guess on the growth cycle of cannas so all this information has been very very helpful. My cannas AR right now or growing in pots and I love the dark leaf ones and I have a bangle striped when I grew From A bulb or root or a rhizome whatever you call them and it has never bloomed but I just absolutely love the leaves and now it's getting a second stem. I just repotted it for a second time it busted the pot it was in. That part was just one I was trying to get it to grow in whenever I bought it as a rhizome. I'm going to fill my patio and show all of my Canna and my elephant ears along with all my other plants especially my coleus and houseplants so that will be later this week it'll be uploaded. So please come to my channel it's Kathleen Murphy and then put one of the following words into the KZfaq search engine house plants orchids coleus or philodendron and you'll find me there's lots of other words you could use but those four will work. I thank you in advance we're coming to my channel and hopefully subscribing because you like what you see. I'm 70 years old and KZfaq has been a lifesaver for me. I have chronic pain in the pain medicine doesn't always do the job it never goes away the whole way but at least it gets bearable. And on the days but I need to try to conquer the pain my plants and KZfaq help me out! And I especially enjoyed the comics the people leave on my videos. And I thank you from the bottom of my heart for this videos so I could take care of my cannas I will keep in mind that they are heavy feeders and they don't like to dry out because they love water so much. I will make sure I put some soil moist crystals in the potting soil when I repot. They are a great invention to help the gardener or the plant person out with plants that grow in the ground or grow in a pot. It's about $16 for a bag of those crystals and Lowe's sells them right where they sell the Miracle Grow fertilizer here in America. That's $16 bag will do 50 hanging baskets. They absorbed 50 times their weight in water and I think they help the people that over water their plants cuz they suck up the extra water and hold it in reserve and it helps the people who sometimes neglect to water play because there's a reserve of water for the plant there. It's saved my coleus the other day because I had to go to the hospital with my son and I couldn't water and it was windy and extremely hot the plants when I pick the pots up or as light as a feather but they hadn't welded yet because of that extra water in the soil moist crystals. The other thing I think the soil moist crystals do is with their expansion and contraction they help keep the soil aerated and from becoming compacted. I think it's the best invention that's come into the Plant World in a long time. I can't live without it and neither can my plants. Thanks again for this video I appreciate it very much it's a lot of work to do a video unless a person has done a video they don't realize it.

2 easy👍👍

I have a big bush of canna in my garden , but don't know if it is an edible canna or not. They have 2 shades of green stripe foliage. They look like the canna at 0:46 at your video here. I wish I could use the leaves for wrapping food for steaming or boiling. Thanks

Very helpful info. My greenhouse mailed me canna rhizomes instead of gladiolus , and I decided to keep them, but no idea how to care for them. Zone 3 Canada.

What a wonderful video! I was curious what the purple flowered bush next to the variegated leaf yellow flower canna is at minute 5:00? Ty!!

They look like tropical birds. I just succeed to germinate some seeds . Its so exciting !

Describe Cannas in one word: “Wow!” Lovely flower footage (although footage seems the wrong word for such a tall plant) and pertinent growing advice from a Canna expert. What could be better!😊

I've been using these plants for the last 2 years and they're great I have the multi color one, the green one, and the red one, but I thought these were annuals that was why I cut them down and dig up the bulbs and store them in my basement and this year they started growing through the bag. I have a ton of bulbs because it's like they multiply I started out with 2 plants then I dug them up and the next year I had enough bulbs to plant 6 more plants and right now I have 2 bags full of green cannas, 2 red cannas planted, 1 multicolored canna planted and 8 green cannas planted.

I had no idea how big they get. My canna have reached over 11 foot. All my friends who have them,.theirs are 6 to 9 ft. I think the reason is we planted ours in 12 inches of 1 year old mushroom mulch.

Thank you so much for your informative video. I love cannas. I live in cold place, can I grow them indoors?

Subscribing from Florida. Excellent channel.

After the dead flowers fall out what do you do with the pieces left behind that the flower was sitting in?

I was gifted several canna lilies several years ago. I have found them to be very resilient. I don't dig them up in winter and I have some in the shade that have done very well.

I just got a pot of canna from home depot here in Texas. Great 👍 vidoe about Canna. Is there anymore video about Canna? Thanks for making video about it.

Canna lilies are wonderful, I’ve created gardens in Uganda & grown these over there , gardening in the tropical Countries was a great experience 😊

Thank you very much that was really interesting i live in london uk and have just planted 6 cannas and had never heard of them till recently.

I've got some impressive pot grown Cannes that are great but here in Kent, England we have a really big infestation of slugs due to heavy rainy days that have made my life a misery because slugs love my Cannas. I've tried slug pellets but to no avail and I'm sure the slugs are living in my pots. Any ideas woukd be welcome.

I'm in zone 5 of the USA. I love Cannas! Lots of work digging and replanting though. Do you think that I would be able to just mulch over, or place straw on top during the cold winters here - or best to keep digging them up & replanting?

After they bloom they grow bulbs with seeds inside. Can you plant the seeds inside of the bulb?

Very informative video!!! Can you please tell me, when you store them for the winter, do you cut the stems down or do you let it die back on their own before storing...

I have been growing cannas for many years. However here in Canada I do have to dig them up and store them in the basement. The problem is starting them indoors. Some of my rhizomes are very big and wont go into a pot, but then to wait until 24 May I dont get flowers for quite a while and so short season. Do you have any tips on what to use to start them indoors, also do you have a source you recommend that I can order some more exotic varieties, cant seem to get anything but red flowers here. I love the look of one called Bethany . Any help would be appreciated as I grow about 30-40 plants around my well

😍😍😍

Hi luckily I stumbled onto your channel and its great thanks but i need help please. I have green and purple canna I recently planted at my new home from an extremely old stock I had at my old house. They took off as they do in south Alabama as its a tropical type environment super humid always and hot. I'm glad they took to their new home but something's chewing up the leaves bad they look sick almost all chewed like that. I been thinking snails but I'm not sure. Have any thoughts? Anything I can do? Thanks in advance greetings from the States

Do canna change color because last year I had orange blooms but this year they are red🤔

Can i grow canna in a pot instead of ground ... how deep container

Super... Can I get some seeds

I bought three cannas from Metung market and I think it safe to say they look in need of a lot of compost and water!

I am having such bad luck with my cannas hopefully they will unfurl and grow this year! Fingers and toes crossed 🤞🏽

Rest speaker thank you

Did you get a root while you were there?

I can’t get ride them, I have a smaller yellow and big tall orange.

After scarification of the seed, how long should I grow it in a pot indoors? Due to c ovid and the kids e-learning episode I couldn't get around to my winter propagation...and just recently got my harvested seeds planted in pots.

would love to know more about heucheras

Hi Alexandra, I'm from Calgary, Canada. I planted my canna this summer. It grows rapidly. Now its height is more that 2 m. Average winter temperature in Calgary is -15C but it might be -40C as well. How to keep the plant safe in low temperatures? As I said before my canna is big and is a big headache to move it to a garage or a basement. Can I trim it and cover with a tarp? Will it survive? Thank you in advance.

Been growing these for a long time, but I have a question about why my flowers always get so many seed pods on them while the flowers are often meager. My cannas are hearty, and get like 8 ft tall. I think I need plant food that emphasizes blooms over leaf growth, no?

Buenas noches a mi.me gustaria comprarle camotitos o semillas

So storing in a box with a slightly damp sand over winter would be okay? That would stop it completely trying out but it won't rot?

Can you make a video on how to breed Cannas thanks

My cannas grow super big but do not flower any tips?

What are done good companion plants to plant in front of the more dwarf cannas?

Hi, I would like to know if canna has blue or purple color flowers. Thanks

The seeds which falls down from my Canna Lily are soft, and I put them directly in the ground. Wonder if new plants will come up? I live in a very hot climate. Thanks

I was hoping to see how to separate the rhizomes from the stalk to winter them. Leave spider roots on or off? Ok to use shears to separate?

I really want to purchase the Canna AnnJee- I am in the US, is there a known source so I could try them here in the USA?

I have plants from seeds ... I am so happy , but i think they are too big for me to keep it indoors during the winter , they might die out side , so o i am thinking about a way to cover them in the winter and keep them out side . It took 4 months to the first seed to sprout .

Hi. My canna was planted in a pot in spring and the foliage has grown wonderfully. However it has not flowered. It is in full sun, watered daily in hot weather and fed once a week. I live in South of UK. Any ideas where I have gone wrong? Thank you

SIR -- MORE KANNA LILY TREE TREAT IN GARDEN

I have a question what is the name of the Canna that shows at the end of your videos that is like a dark purple black but yet has a stripe to it it is the most beautiful can I think I've seen besides my Bengal tiger striped foliage and the Cleopatra canna lily
