The act of establishing cannas, rhizomatous perennials, involves placing the subterranean stems into the soil under conditions conducive to growth. Successful establishment requires consideration of timing, depth, soil composition, and environmental factors. This practice encourages the development of vibrant foliage and striking floral displays.
Proper planting promotes robust plant health, resulting in more prolific blooms and stronger resistance to pests and diseases. Cannas contribute visual interest to gardens and landscapes, providing height and color throughout the growing season. Historically, cannas have been cultivated for both ornamental and practical purposes, with some varieties yielding edible starches.
