last modified: 6 years ago

Can anyone tell my why my canna is browning out and not thriving? I dug the bulbs up last fall and the looked great when I replanted in late winter after augmenting the soil. Any help or advice is appreciated

Hi Tom,

Where do you live, i.e. what is your growing zone? When you say "late Winter" what does that mean to you? Do you have any pictures of the "browning out"?

Well, shoot, Tom! I'm sorry. I may not be of much help. I live in zone 5. Do you have any pictures of the "browning out"?

I augmented with a product called Dillo dirt. And it may have been too hot for these bulbs. They seem iron deprived. I’m going to try some liquid iron and see if that helps. I was hoping someone on here would know based on their own experience. Thanks again 👍

Did you acclimate them slowly to the sun?
