This was last year. When I brought it in I should have either kept it dry or at the very least warmer than the 60 degrees. I had it in a bog situation since I grew it in the pond. It died.

(((((((THANKS AUD!!)))))))))) Nope.. I don't have any of THOSE lil cuties!!! They ARE pretty!!!! I have heard people use them "water side" but have always thought the wet feet would be problematic and cause the dreaded ROT. I don't really KNOW that much about cannas other than the few varieties I have and they all are in raised bed or half/barrel situations with no chance of wet feet. Are there two specific types of cannas other than tall/dwarf?

I am not expert on Cannas :lol: :lol:

I read there are Drawf 3', Med 4', Tall 5'+

I grow most of my cannas in containers with no drainage. When I water I do not stop until the pot is floating. I do that Sunday before I leave for a trip and Friday when I return. So I guess basically I am growing all my cannas in Bog type soil.

In the winter they get a glass of water about once a month.

Hey Aud <_< I don't know what a good price is for those but there are a couple on ebay now. Not sure this is a good time to buy them though. :unsure:

They had some at a local nursery on sale; 3 1-gallon pots for $9.99. I knew I should have bought some. -_-

that is another gorgeous canna - and another one i'd never heard of 'til now-
oh my, the vicious cycle has begun,
the more i see~~> the more i want~~> the more i gotta look for new ones,
and so forth, " 'round and 'round she goes, where she stops. . ."
i can see what's happening, but it's already too late, i'm hooked :lol: :lol:

Thanks Boo but I only brought one thing on ebay. I hate to bid. I want to buy not bid. :lol: I think my most expensive Canna was the Pink Sunburst and Stuggart. at 7.99.

Rich they have to have them in your area. I wonder if we can smuggle you some bulbs in??? Have you seen Tropicanna there?
