Re: water canna

I have put them in a water pond with bricks under them to keep them right at the water level.

Hey everybody
Well that's about what I thought...you all seem to be on the
same page.  My problem is that my pond doesn't really lend itself to only
submerging part of the pot or even the whole thing because it's 3' deep with 
no edges.  I do have water lillies but the pot is on a stand however, more
than one stand in the pond I'm afraid would look goofy I think.
Thanks for the
help.
David

David,

I always put one or two pots of canna in the water
garden on my deck.  I
submerge the pots just beneath the water.  Make sure
that you cover the
surface of the medium in the pot with sand or gravel so
that no potting
medium floats up.  It is better to use a mix made for
waterlilies.  There
should be no perlite in that mix.

Hey
Donna or anybody else into water gardening
I have some tiger eye canna I
have
been thinking of growing in my pond so here' my question:  How deep can
the
canna be underwater before they just drown and rot?  Can they live
competely
under water?  What do you folks suggest?
