Most years I simply plant them inground. Much later than this time of year actually. But I get very poor results with many never coming up. This year I just bought two packages locally with two roots each, Tangelo and Black Knight. I decided to pot them which is what I did. I will keep them inside were its warm (not too warm) until they sprout and them bring them outside to harden off. Then when its warm enough I will plant them. By that time I will actually have plants. That is if all goes acording to plan.
In fact last year I was so mad at the poor rate of success I got the prior year that I never ever planted any. But I like them so I miss them so am trying this new method this year.
Potted Up My Cannas to Start Them.
Hi, rita,
So what do you think got to your cannas that didn't come up? rot? animals?
Usually I plant mine in pots but this year I was planning to just stick them into the ground.
Any advice? t.
I have no idea. So far 3 of my four canna tubers are growing nicely. The 4th, nothing. Buit three will be alright for this year, I only need them in a very small spot for an accent. Next year I hope to do better.
