What is the planting density and planting method of Canna lilies?

1. Planting density

When planting, the specific density should be determined according to the fertility of the soil and the variety. Normally, the row spacing is 70 to 90 cm, and the plant spacing is 60 to 80 cm. If you want to see the results sooner, you can also plant densely, with the distance between two plants being about 50 cm. If you want to propagate rhizomes, you should plant them sparsely.

2. Planting Method

When planting large-flowered canna, you can plant it in the ground or in pots. When planting, first dig a small hole of appropriate size on the soil surface, the depth should be more than 10 cm. Then put the seedlings in, with two or three buds in each hole. In addition, organic fertilizer should be added to promote growth. In the later stage, depending on the specific situation, there is no need to apply additional fertilizer, or you can apply quick-acting liquid fertilizer twice before flowering.

After the first frost, the rhizomes should be dug out and dried for two days before being moved indoors for curing. Use sand for transplanting, but be careful not to pile it too high or too thick to avoid mildew. Also pay attention to temperature control, providing a temperature of about six to seven degrees to survive the winter.
