They are thirsty plants and need a consistent supply of water throughout the growing season.
In warm areas, cannas grow well in full sun or in partial shade. In cooler areas they grow best in full sun.
Canna lilies are low maintenance and easy to grow, and both their flowers and foliage offer long lasting color in the garden.
The flower color may be red, orange, or yellow. Depending on the variety, foliage color varies from green to maroon, bronze, and variegated types.
Light, Cannas need full sun to reach their flowering potential. Shade encourages leggy growth that can cause foliage to flop over. Plants in shade won't produce as many flowers, either.
Several varieties are grown for their colorful leaves, which are not as bright in the shade.
