- Q
I live in zone 7. Can I start giant cannas indoors just like dwarf varieties?
- Asked by Judy
- Verified Reply - ViciAbsolutely you can! Start canna rhizomes indoors 4 to 6 weeks before your area's average last frost date. Plant the cannas in large pots. The rhizomes should be covered with 3 to 4 inches of potting soil.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
If I bought these bulbs now, can they be planted now so they can grow and bloom next year? I am in Southern Cal, in zone 11, coastal San Diego. I bought a couple varieties of Canna last year, two giant and two of the smaller, in the reds and orange. They have exploded in growth and by next weekend I will probably have a dozen blooms opened. I want to get some of every color. Thank you.

- Q
i am wanting to plant Canna's for the first time. I have a bed that is 24 feet long and 2.5 feet wide. the calculator tells me I need over 30 plants. the description tells me a bag has approximately 3 eyes in it. Do I need 10 bags with 30 eyes or do I need 30 bags?
- Asked by david
- Verified Reply - ViciCannas should be planted 18 - 24 inches apart. Your bed is 60 square feet. If you plant them 18 inches apart you will need about 27 plants. There are 3 dormant bareroots per offer and these will each produce a plant. You will need 10 packages to get your 30 plants.Was this answer helpful to you
