    Frequently Asked Questions

    Canna Happy Julia bulbs, also known as rhizomes, are easy to plant and grow, adding a vibrant touch to your garden with their stunning orange flowers and attractive foliage. To plant them, follow these steps:

    • Select a sunny location with well-draining soil. Amend the soil with compost to improve fertility and drainage.
    • Plant the rhizomes horizontally, about 4-6 inches deep and 18-24 inches apart.
    • Water the area thoroughly after planting, ensuring the soil stays moist but not waterlogged.
    • Apply a balanced slow-release fertilizer once a month during the growing season.
    • Remember to maintain consistent moisture and remove spent blooms to encourage continuous flowering throughout the season.

    The best time to plant Canna Happy Julia bulbs is in the spring, once the threat of frost has passed and the soil temperature has warmed to at least 60°F (15°C). Planting in the spring allows the rhizomes ample time to establish themselves and produce blooms during the summer months.

    In regions with mild winters (USDA hardiness zones 7-10), you can plant Canna Happy Julia bulbs in the fall for a head start on growth the following spring. Remember to provide adequate protection from freezing temperatures, as these tropical plants are sensitive to cold.

    Canna Happy Julia flowers typically grow to a height of 3-4 feet (0.9-1.2 meters). Their relatively compact size makes them a versatile choice for various garden designs, including container gardens, mixed borders, and as an eye-catching focal point in your landscape.

    Their striking red and pink flowers and bold, green leaves create a visual impact that is sure to turn heads. Because they grow so tall it is necessary to stake Cannas. Use bamboo sticks or a trellis to stake them.

    While no plant can be considered completely deer-resistant, Canna Happy Julia plants are less appealing to deer compared to other varieties. Their tough, fibrous leaves make them less palatable to deer, making them a suitable choice for gardens prone to deer browsing.

    However, it's essential to keep in mind that deer may still sample the plants if food sources are scarce. To further deter deer, consider using repellents or installing a physical barrier such as a fence around your garden.
