How to grow canna lily
Canna x generalis
When to plant canna lily
Plant canna rhizomes outdoors in spring once the soil has warmed and the danger of frost has passed (University of Minnesota); they can also be started indoors earlier. In cold climates the rhizomes must be dug up in fall after frost blackens the foliage and stored indoors over winter.
Canna Lily is timed by season rather than your frost dates, so the planting calendar does not generate ZIP-specific dates for it. Check the cited sources below to fine-tune for your area.
