Know before you buy
Yes, it is a marginal plant designed for shallow water or boggy soil. You should plant it in a container with aquatic soil and place it so the crown is just at or slightly below the water line.
Canna 'Orange Punch' is hardy in zones 7 through 10. If you live in a colder climate, you will need to lift the rhizomes in the fall and store them indoors over the winter.
For the best continuous summer blooming, provide full sun to partial shade. While it can tolerate some shade, it will produce more vibrant flowers and maintain a faster growth rate with at least 6 hours of direct light.
Yes, this Canna is completely safe for both fish and invertebrates. It provides excellent natural cover and helps improve water quality by absorbing excess nutrients.
You can propagate it through rhizome division. Simply lift the plant from its container during the dormant season, divide the rhizome clumps with a clean, sharp knife, and replant the sections.
Bare root means the plant arrives without soil around the roots. You should soak the rhizome in water for a few hours before planting to rehydrate it, then pot it immediately in aquatic soil.
