How to Soak Canna Bulbs

Canna lilies are tall, flowering perennials that showcase large, bright, tropical-colored blooms. The canna is a hardy plant that requires low maintenance and looks wonderful in any garden. They grow from bulbs that can be dug up and stored during the cold winter months to protect them from frost. After storage, you must soak the canna bulbs before planting. Make sure the bucket or container you plan to use for soaking has been cleaned and rinsed thoroughly before placing the bulbs in the bucket.

Things You'll Need

• Bucket or container

Instructions

1. Fill the bucket or container with warm water. Water from the tap works fine, but many gardeners prefer to use distilled water that has been warmed on the stove. Distilled water does not have chemicals in it like tap water does.

2. Place the canna bulbs in the bucket of warm water.

3. Remove the bulbs after 24 hours.
