Perennial flowers. Blooms long and profusely throughout the summer. It grows best in permeable, moist, unsoaked soil in a sunny, windless position. Plant the rhizomes in peat substrate or light compost in March or April. Plants are moved outside after frost danger has passed and planted at a depth of 10-15 cm.
Does not overwinter in the soil.
Indica cannas are dug in the second half of September. The rhizomes are dried and stored in a room at 4-6 ˚C over winter.
