Know before you buy
Since this is a wetland plant, you can plant it directly into a pond basket using aquatic soil or place it in a boggy area of your garden. Ensure the crown is just below the water surface or in consistently moist soil to help the plant establish its root system.
Canna 'Peach Delight' is hardy in zones 7-11. If you live in a region with colder winters, you will need to lift the rhizomes in the fall and store them in a frost-free location until spring, as they will not survive freezing temperatures.
For the best bloom production, provide at least six hours of direct sunlight. While it can tolerate partial shade, too little light may result in leggy foliage and fewer of those signature peach-colored flowers.
While it is an easy-care plant, applying a slow-release aquatic plant fertilizer during the growing season can encourage more prolific blooming. Follow the dosage instructions on your chosen fertilizer to avoid burning the roots or affecting water quality.
Canna lilies grow from rhizomes and will expand over time, but they are generally well-behaved in a pond setting. You can easily manage their size by dividing the rhizomes every few years in the spring.
