[substeps] If you live in a colder area where the warm season is rather short, you could consider starting your cannas in an indoor pot. See part three for how to care for indoor cannas. [substeps] Cannas are best planted in late spring or early summer because summer can wear them out after a while. You can plant immediately after the last threat of frost has passed. Once winter arrives, you can plant your cannas in a dry area that gets little or no direct sunlight. [substeps] Cannas typically grow up to 3 feet (0.91 m) in height once planted in deep soil. While some cannas require at least four to eight weeks until the last threat of frost has passed, only about one-fourth of cannas are commercially viable. Wait until at least 6 weeks after the last threat of winter has passed.
