Canna 'Lemon Chiffon'

How to grow Canna ‘Lemon Chiffon’ in NZ

Plant in a sunny, sheltered position with rich, well-drained soil that retains some moisture. Cannas love warmth, so choose a spot that receives at least six hours of direct sunlight daily. Before planting, enrich the soil with compost or well-rotted manure to encourage strong growth and prolific flowering. Water regularly during dry spells, especially while the plant is establishing. For continuous blooms, deadhead spent flowers and remove old stems at the base.
