Canna can be planted anytime of the year in southern zones but the soil temperature should be 78-80° F.  In zones 3-8, plant in spring and summer when ground temperature is not below 65°F. They should be started indoors one month prior to moving outside. Canna prefer a sunny location in moist, fertile soil. When planting outside, prepare soil by spading and adding compost or rotted manure. Rhizomes should be planted 1 - 1/2" deep and spaced 18-24" apart. Soak well after planting. For container planting, pot one rhizome per gallon in well drained potting mix.  Containers will finish in 10-12 weeks when potted during the appropriate temperatures:  Daytime 70-75° F; Night 65-70° F. Fertilize established (2-3 weeks) plants monthly with 1:2:1 ratio (12:24:12 or 5:10:5), fertilizing at 1/2 the package recommendation. NPK at 200 ppm weekly in injector fed systems.

Canna 'Aprodite'

Canna can be planted anytime of the year in southern zones but the soil temperature should be 78-80° F.  In zones 3-8, plant in spring and summer when ground temperature is not below 65°F. They should be started indoors one month prior to moving outside. Canna prefer a sunny location in moist, fertile soil. When planting outside, prepare soil by spading and adding compost or rotted manure. Rhizomes should be planted 1 - 1/2" deep and spaced 18-24" apart. Soak well after planting. For container planting, pot one rhizome per gallon in well drained potting mix.  Containers will finish in 10-12 weeks when potted during the appropriate temperatures:  Daytime 70-75° F; Night 65-70° F. Fertilize established (2-3 weeks) plants monthly with 1:2:1 ratio (12:24:12 or 5:10:5), fertilizing at 1/2 the package recommendation. NPK at 200 ppm weekly in injector fed systems.

Clematis 'Avant Garde'

Location

Clematis and vines will require an area that will have at least a half day or more direct sunlight. The plant depending on the variety will grow upright six to twelve feet. Although it can only grow as tall as the trellis, arbor or support that you have given it. For example, if your trellis is eight feet tall and the vine you choose grows to twelve feet, it would simply hang over and grow down the other side.

Soil Preparation

Clematis and vines need a moist, well-drained soil. Prepare your hole at least one foot deep and mix 50% peat moss or well-rotted manure. Backfill hole with the amended soil and plant the vines so the top of the root ball is just below the ground level burying the first set of eyes. The plant should be mulched and kept moist, not wet, especially during the first growing season. Fertilize every four weeks during the growing season with a

well-balanced liquid fertilizer.

Support

The main stem of the clematis or vines must have a firm support, otherwise damage may occur through wind. As the newly planted

vine produces new growth this should be carefully trained and tied into position.

Iris Ensata 'Crystal Halo'

Storage After Arrival

Storing iris is not advised. They should be planted as soon as possible. If they have to be stored, they should be kept in a cool area with good air circulation.

Soil:

Best grown in damp, rich, acidic soil in areas with abundant moisture such as along water edges. Can tolerate times of standing water except in the winter.

Planting:

Plant rhizomes in spring or fall, 1 to 2 inches deep, and should be planted vertically with the growing tip pointed up.

If planting in a water garden, plants will not tolerate saturated soil or standing water over the winter. Plants can be removed in the fall, or try growing in pots, buried halfway in the ground so they can be moved to a dryer area over winter. 

Light:

Prefers full sun but tolerates part shade.
