Planting & Care
1. Planting: Choose a sunny spot with well-draining soil for your Canna Cannova® ‘Bronze Scarlet’. Plant tubers or established plants in the spring after the last frost, spacing them about 18-24 inches apart to allow for their growth. Ensure that the tops of the tubers are just below the soil surface.
2. Watering: Water your cannas regularly to keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. During hot, dry spells, be sure to increase the frequency of watering—these plants appreciate a good drink. However, avoid overwatering, as that can lead to root rot.
3. Pruning: To encourage bushier growth and more blooms, pinch back the tips of the plants when they reach about a foot in height. Remove any dead or yellowing leaves to keep the plants looking fresh and healthy throughout the growing season.
4. Fertilizing: Feed your Canna Cannova® ‘Bronze Scarlet’ with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season. This will promote strong growth and lush blooms, ensuring that your cannas thrive and attract butterflies to your garden.
