Canna Lilies
Description
Cannas can be grown in borders or containers. They are grown from rhizomes (underground stems), which you will find for sale in late winter in bags of shredded paper, or sold loose. Cannas are easy to grow from rhizomes, but you can also buy plants over the summer.
They are tender plants, but in warmer parts of the UK you can leave the rhizomes in the ground with a covering of mulch.
