Hi. Sorry about the delay. Here is the Karchesky growing tips site ...

http://www.karcheskycanna.com/growingtips.htm

Cannas fairly well look after themselves. The only real problem I have is containing them. They tend to go crazy & encroach on other plants unless they are bordered in. In that regard I have an over-supply of an apricot coloured Italian hybrid atm, that you can help me out with. If you Dmail me an address, I'll send a bunch of rhizomes to help get your garden started & give me some room. I also have a pile of C. indica seed that you can get growing pretty easy, so long as you scarify them. They would flower by next spring & being a natural strain, set seeds so you can cross them with your hybrids for a bit of fun. Just dmail if you are interested & good luck with your garden.
Ian
