If planting in a container, heavier pots will help the top-heavy plants from toppling over in the wind. Make sure to use good-quality potting soil and plant in a container with drainage holes.

The Red Velvet Canna Lily is hardy in zones 8-11. Colder areas can add Canna Lilies to their garden as annuals.

3. Fertilizing: To encourage blooming, fertilize with water soluble fertilizer every other week or once a month with a slow-release fertilizer. Canna Lilies planted in the soil will require less frequent fertilizing.
