Planting & Care

Plant Lucifer Canna Lily bulbs (rhizomes) in spring after the danger of frost has passed. Choose a location with full sun and rich, well-drained soil. Dig a hole 2-3 inches deep, place the rhizome horizontally with the growing tips facing up, and cover with soil. Space plants 18-24 inches apart to allow for air circulation. Water thoroughly after planting and keep the soil consistently moist throughout the growing season. These cannas benefit from regular watering, especially during dry spells, and a layer of mulch to retain moisture.

Fertilize monthly with a balanced fertilizer to support vigorous growth and abundant blooms. Remove spent flowers to encourage continued blooming. In zones 8-11, rhizomes can be left in the ground over winter with a layer of mulch for protection. In cooler zones, dig up rhizomes after the first frost, allow them to dry, and store in a cool, dry place until spring. With proper care, Lucifer Canna Lily will reward you with a spectacular tropical display year after year.
