Wowzers! Dave that is spectacular

Thats is amazing. so well put together. i love you canna stuttgart!!!! i soo need to get that! and im sure you zone is cool so the leaves dont get scorched! I am envious of your garden :)
The great thing about growing cannas in cooler climates, is you dont have problems with rust. here in trinidad its always humid and hot, so rust affects my cannas.

Siam,

I've seen rust some years on my 'Intrigue' cannas and sometimes on 'Pretoria'.

These Stuttgarts get early morning and late afternoon sun. They seem pretty happy. Just a bit of scorch on the whitest leaves, but not bad. I gave them some Milorganite periodically and supplemental watering. I've never had them get this tall.

Beautiful combinations. So encouraging to see a garden that is not burned out.

That's gorgeous, Dave! I wanna do tropical around my new deck/Hot Tub next year. Thanks for the inspiration!

Now I KNOW I am doing something wrong with MY Stuttgart lol I believe you have a little fairy waving her magic wand lol

that is UNREAL for sure! WOW DAVE the brugs would get lost in THAT picture lol

Dave what are you doing to your canna stuttgarts? I have one and has only grown to about 12" and is now doing nothing, do they like to be wet or dry and do you treat them they same as other cannas? Sorry for all the questions but had to ask the expert LOL Your pics are amazing and really show that you do have the green thumb. LOL

Rigo,

Well, I don't know. Soil is clayish. I do supplemental watering - I think they like wettish soil. They're in shade from about 10:30 until 4:00. I used Milorganite fertilzer (this really helps -- just sprinkle it on the surface around the plants several times over the summer).

....... and don't you just love the handsome male plant right in the middle of it all? What a great garden!

haase roflmao funny funny You almost had me go back and look for the plant roflmao

Dave by the way...how COULD YOU!!! Do you know what I mean?
You left the most important *plant* out of the picture!

Lucy

Fantastic! Thanks for sharing!

Absolutely beautiful. I'm not showing this to the wife, she would throw a fit at me and ask why can't you get cannas to grow like that. None of mine are over a foot & 1/2 tall.

Awesome Dave! :)

I will try the milorganite on mine. The stutgart is really tall but I grow it in a pot of mud with no holes, lol. Gets some brown on the edges but its hot as hades here. I fill the pot with water every day and the top is dried out already by evening, lol. Albert, maybe you bought dwarf ones and didn't know it. I have some that are only 2 feet but they are dwarfs. If you need tall ones remind me this fall and I can divide some for you. They do like a lot of water and good soil here.

We had what I would consider a mild summer. Very few days above 90ºF until mid-August. So, I wonder if they like 'cooler' weather??
