How to Care for the Plant

Water
Little watering (once a week).
Pruning
Deadhead Cannas throughout the growing season to keep them blooming for as long as possible. Very sensitive to frost, this Canna Lily is a tender perennial that is only hardy to zones 8-11. Therefore, in cooler areas, its bulb will have to be dug up before the first frost and stored indoors over the winter in a dry place before being replanted in spring.
Fertilizer
Cannas are not terribly picky when it comes to fertilizer. Cannas easily bloom all summer without much effort. For those of you who want to give your plants an extra boost, we recommend applying 5-10-5 or 10-10-10 two or three times during the growing season.

Soil
Canna lily plants prefer rich, water-retentive, well-drained soils that are high in organic matter but will do fine in a wide range of soils. They prefer a pH around 6.5.
Temperature
Cannas are sensitive to cold temperatures and frost, but they thrive in temperatures up to 90 degrees Fahrenheit.
