When is the best time to plant canna lily bulbs?

The ideal time for planting canna lily bulbs is in spring after the last frost, when soil temperatures reach at least 60°F. Warm soil encourages strong root development, leading to faster growth and earlier blooms. In colder climates, you can start canna lily rhizomes indoors in pots and transplant them once the weather warms up for a head start on the season.

What is the difference between canna lily bulbs, rhizomes, and tubers?

While many people refer to them as bulbs, these plants actually grow from canna lily rhizomes—underground stems that store nutrients and sprout new shoots. Some gardeners call them canna lily tubers, but true tubers, like potatoes, function differently. Canna lily rhizome planting allows the plants to spread and multiply over time, returning and expanding each year.

If I buy canna lily bulbs, will they need full sun?

Yes, planting canna lily bulbs in full sun (at least 6–8 hours per day) ensures the strongest growth and most vibrant blooms. While they can tolerate partial shade, too much shade may cause weak stems and fewer flowers. For container planting, canna lily bulbs should be placed in the sunniest spot possible for best results.

Can I grow canna lily bulbs in containers?

Absolutely! Canna lily rhizomes thrive in large containers with enough space to spread. Use a Power Planter bulb auger, cordless drill, well-draining potting mix, and a container at least 12 inches deep to plant your bulbs. Since potted plants dry out faster than those in the ground, regular watering is key. Occasionally, adding a slow-release fertilizer to your canna lily bulbs will promote continuous blooming and healthy foliage.
