This is a beautiful plant. It can grow to 12 feet.
I have a lot of rhizomes to trade - looking for tropicals.
Steve
Have: Red Russian Canna Rhizomes
Wow that is so cool Wish I had something good to trade for it
We grow 'em BIG here in FLA! (and I don't mean Coke cans)
Oh my goodness Steve. How long does it take to grow a blooming plant that size. So beautiful !
Hi.
I would love to get my paws on some of them there rhyzomes. What kind of tropicals are you wishing for? I do have a few. Maybe we can enter into a trade agreement.
Sylvain.
Sylvian,
I'm open to about anything, since I'm planting a new garden this year. I've been looking for lilies and grasses lately, but not limited to that. Let me know what you might have available.
Steve
you have mail
steve I love that plant ........
I have a canna that I dont know the name of kinda looks like that.
but leaves a little darker.
How tall are your plants.
I have about 6 plants, one of them just flowered
a red flower. My plant is only about 3ft.
were almost in the same zone does it take full sun?
Thanks ,
GG
Hi Steve, weren't you also looking for ornamental grasses? Ifso email me please.
Thank you,
Sandy
Thank you Steve, my box arrived today yea!!!!!!!!!!!!
GG,
Yes, full sun. They can get to 12 feet - mine grew to around 9 the first year (last year).
Check out the size of the rhizomes; they're almsot comical, they're so big. I'll bet they get bigger each season.
Do you have a pic of your canna? Maybe we can ID them. These plants are dormant right now, but I do have other cannas flowering.
Steve
Steve, I have a few tropical & hardy ferns, rooted jade or aloe cuttings & one small 'Cherry Chocolate' rhizome.
Oh, and seeds of just about anything you'd want. (I bought 600 packets this year, half veggies, half flowers)
Steve do you dig up your rhizomes each year ? They sure are Special and large ! I'm so excited about mine Thank you !
Allison,
No,not usually.I had too many cannas in one place, and I wanted to move them.
If you leave the rhizomes in the ground over the winter, they'll come back the following spring.
Steve
Thanks Steve !
Summerkid,
Sorry, just noticed your posting.
What is the Cherry Chocolate rhizome? I'm not familiar with it.
I've been considering ordering flower seeds. What kind do you have? Are they mostly annuals?
Steve
I have Canna 'Australia' http://davesgarden.com/pf/go/37653/index.html
I also have heeps of flower seeds. I would love to try some of your cannas
Thanks
Caren
Yes Skaz I have a pic let me pull one up.
just a as a note:
I got these bulbs back in oct, planting them for the spring.
Didn't know the weather would be so crazy this winter and didn't expect them
to sprout and grow. Some have some haven't. here's one closest to the house
That has grown and flowered,
Not looking its best:
GG,
My Russian Red are dormant - some cannas flower during the winer here, some go dormant. That could be why yours isn't doing so well - I bet it takes right off when things warm up a bit.
Steve
Can you tell what type this canna is.
I need to find out.
Thanks
GG,
It's really hard to tell, without seeing it flower, and when it's distressed like it is. You might want to post it in either the Canna forum, or the Identification forum, but I suspect you won't have much luck until it grows more. Sorry.
This site has hundreds, with pictures - you might find it here:
