Beautiful Canna! I like Cannas because they can bloom most of the year here. How long do they bloom there? It this growing inside or outside?

Actually Andy ...its still in the greenhouse, but that is my fault. I potted it to start it off, and the roots went through the bottom of the pot and really took hold before I realised it I thought best well left alone.......but a beautiful splash of colour.......They bloom here for most of the summer, and usually outside ....

Milky:

Yes, I guess it would cost a pretty penny to heat a greenhouse to a high temp all Wiinter.

it sure would Andy.......Keeping it warm enough for the Plumeria is bad enough.....

Milky:

Plumeria in a greenhouse can tolerate temps almost down to freezing...as long as their roots are kept dry. Of course, they prefer to have temps between 45 - 55 degrees F. / 8 - 13 degrees C. at night.
