They get BIG. At least 5 ft high. Big leaves. I could stand naked
behind one leaf. I would space them at least 6 ft.

They are great for macro photos.

I bought them at Home Depot for 5.99 or 6.99 each. They're the size
of large
coconuts or slightly larger than a cantelope, and about as heavy.
Package says
the plants will grow 6-7' tall and just as wide, spacing 3-4'.




I bought them in bulk from a grower in Florida. If I remember correctly
I purchased 20 and the total bill was $60. If I can find the grower's
name and number I will forward.

Hi,
I got a couple of new tubers on Thursday, but they are only as big a
larger potato - NOT the 8 -10 inches mentioned - WOW. And yes, these
have a
pointy end that is obviously the top because one already has a
little green
sprout growing. Let's see...... my tubers cost $2.99 each and are a
little
over 3 inches in diameter - What did you pay for the 8-10 diameter
ones?

The cut off end faces the sky.


Thank you!

You're welcome.




Yes, the package mentioned that. So now I must dig these and the
Cannas

up...


Do these plants duplicate? When I dig them up, will I have 2 or more

bulbs


where I once planted 1?

They will have smaller 'off-shoots' from the main bulb. AFTER drying
them out over the winter, you can break it up. Smaller leaves on the
smaller bulbs..got it?
