Canna lilies are tropical beauties through and through. Because they’re used to warm climates, timing is everything when it comes to getting them in the ground.
Wait until the frost is gone
The best time to plant your Cannas in the garden is late spring. You’ll want to make sure the threat of a late-season frost has completely passed and the nights are staying consistently warm.
Give them a head start indoors
If you want to see those gorgeous blooms as early as possible, I highly recommend starting your rhizomes indoors. Giving them a little “pre-growth” jumpstart inside means they’ll be ready to take off the moment they hit the garden soil!
