My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Canna In Pond for penny1947

21 years ago

I think it was this spring that I mentioned to Penny that we were able to over winter Canna in our pond because it doesn't freeze solid.

Bernie put this plant in the pond about this time summer before last. It grew well last year and even better this summer. We just cut the tops off after they freeze.

There was no name on it when we bought it but Bernie liked the variegated leaves so she acquired it anyway. This is one plant. The pond level is near the top of the wall. The pot is about the same depth as Bernie's feet. It apparently likes fish fertilizer. We have seen Anna's and Rufous females at the flowers.
