Canna Brilliant - Indian shot

Canna doesn't like the cold and should be protected from frost during winter. When planting it in the ground, it should only be done after the last frosts. It should also be stored away at the first frost to keep the bulbs dry and cool, for example in a bit of turf. Plant them in a moist but well-drained soil (if necessary, lighten your soil with some turf or sand). Cover with 5cm (2in) of soil, and keep a spacing of 40cm (16in) between the bulbs. Apply organic fertilizer at planting and at least once a month. Water regularly so that the soil never completely dries out. You can also speed up their growth cycle by planting them in pots in a frost-free shelter as early as February, and then transplant them to the garden when the weather is warmer (June in the North of France). You can also cultivate them in pots (1 bulb per pot).
