i am really enjoying these reds in my garden these days.a beautiful autumn annual.



i planted two lemon trees in the spring & they have started fruits.i pinched all the fruits after taking the shots.



some days back theses cannas attracted my attention.Reds,pinks,yellows,whites & bronzed leaf reds!the flower size has greatly increased,foliage broader than when i got them as potted plants.the hight still is very dwarf.

Your Cannas are beautiful.
What fertilizer do u use, + how much of sun light do they get everyday ?

I am yet experimenting with my dwarf cannas,when I place them in sun they get sun burn, under open sky in rains, their leaves start to turn black and rott.
It is much more hard to take care of this variety.

Umar, this Celosia is just awesome...

Haris, these dwarf cannas are "Tropical series" from Takii seeds, they dont like open sun and prefer bright spot with less direct sunlight, Cannas respond very well to DAP in small quantities twice monthly..

Yes Izhar this Celosia ia really doing good in my Islamabad,s garden.but due to limited space i have planted in small quantity.i am planing to plant it in masses at Mardan next year Inshallah.lady birds are damaging the foliage.how ever i have sprayed over it this time.
Haris these cannas are in complete shade under toot tree in deep vegetation in seven colors.they are very good.if u plant out in direct sun it ,l cause sun burn on the foliage.as Izhar already said apply some DAP.I,ll add another thing plant it in rich compost & leave them on their own.what i,l say just ignore them & they will flower for u every summer.

Very impressive indeed.
