How many canna lilies should I plant together?

When it comes to planting Canna lilies, it is important to give them enough space to grow and flourish. In the landscape, it is recommended to leave a spacing of 18-24 inches between plants. This allows each plant to have enough room to spread out and receive adequate sunlight and nutrients.

If you are growing Cannas in containers, it is best to choose a container that is at least 18 inches in diameter. This will provide enough space for the rhizomes to grow and establish themselves. It is also important to plant only one rhizome per pot to prevent overcrowding and competition for resources.

When planting Canna rhizomes, it is advised to plant them one to two inches below the soil surface. This allows for proper root development and stability. Make sure to choose a sunny location for planting, as Cannas thrive in full sun.

I personally have had success growing Canna lilies in my own garden. I planted them with a spacing of about 2 feet apart, allowing them to have enough room to spread out and create a beautiful display of foliage and flowers. The plants grew vigorously and produced stunning blooms throughout the summer.

When planting Canna lilies, it is important to give them enough space to grow and thrive. Whether in the landscape or in containers, providing adequate spacing and proper planting depth will ensure healthy growth and abundant blooms.
