Lifting & Storing Canna Lilies and Calla Lilies Over Winter ❄️
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 12 ก.ย. 2024
- Canna Lilies and Calla Lilies need to be overwintered and you can do this by lifting them in Autumn, washing off all the soil, leaving them to dry off for a week, and then storing them in a box with air holes, somewhere dark and dry such as your garage or shed. I did not lift my canna lilies last Winter and this year they did not do very well. They didn’t grow very tall and they never flowered. So for this video I have followed the correct process and lifted and stored so I have my fingers crossed that next year they will do much better.

Oh Rich you are so welcome. Is gardeners are such a great support to each other, I think it is so humbling. We are the most laid back chilled out group ever 🤣🤣💓
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener that’s exactly how I feel 😊😊so happy to be a part of your garden journey
Likewise 💚 💚
This is a very smart idea I did the same exact thing after seeing it form Rich channel, What an great job you did 👍🏻👍🏻
Let’s hope it’s worth all the effort 🤞😁
Your video made me laugh when you used the invoices. I've noticed the positive attitudes of gardeners and gardening channels too. Its so nice.
Haha well I had to get Richard back for throwing my shredded paper out 🤣 yes, all us gardeners must be the most chilled community around I think 😍
Great video and I 💯% agree the garden community supports each other all day everyday 💪🏼. I love this method of rinsing and storing the bulbs. Wonderful work as always.
Oh thank you so much, and yes, gardeners are the loveliest chilled out group of people ever 😍
You have such a lovely garden and a lovely channel enjoy watching you overwintering your canna lilies it will definitely come back stronger next year job well done ✅✅✅❤️❤️❤️.
Oh thank you simplyluxly that’s so nice of you to say that. Yes, I hope all that effort digging washing storing etc etc is worth it 😍
Amazing job overwintering your canna lilies The foliage on them look so beautiful would have been hard for me to cut them ❤️
I didn’t want to do that Shenelle!! 😍
Agree, great looking foliage! Which canna lily is this and how did it do the next year?@@TheEnthusiasticGardener
Hello there Naaman, well this was 3 years ago and I’m afraid I cannot even remember what this variety was now, except that it was a gorgeous red flower. Following year I decided to leave them in the ground, as it can be mild enough to do that here, and unfortunately that was the end of my canna lily! This year I planted 4 new varieties from Farmer Gracy called Durban, Monique, Pretoria and Stuttgart, and they didn’t do very well at all. I think I will dig those up, store them and replant them again next year and see what happens. Thanks so much for watching and I hope you’re having a great week 💚🩷
First off I love your jacket looks so good on you 😊😊, really enjoy our the Garden communities coming together supporting each other such a beautiful thing to see I love it and great video your channel rock.
Oh thank you so much teacups for your really lovely comments 😍
Canna is my favorite!
Hi Jerry, yes I love them too because they look very exotic and tropical 🌴😁
I’ve got a Tropicana Lily video I’d really like for you to see! I’m gonna go ahead and run through the rest of your videos I really like them
PS I live in North Carolina but I was born in England
@@jerryodell1192 hey Jerry, thanks so much for subscribing. I just watched your video and commented, and subscribed to your great channel. Looking forward to catching up with more and great to have a new gardening friend 😍
You're the kindest and we enjoy you and I love how you mentioned how chilled we are, I would agree!
Oh bless how kind and yes we are definitely the most chilled group around 😍
Just what I need to do next.
It’s quite the process! But hopefully worth it 😁
Great video, great tips.
Thank you for watching 😁
Lk42👌👌👌 loved the idea dear, must say smartly organised👍👍👍
Thank Tanu xx
Found you via Linda and going over your videos as I get back into gardening in my Southern home in Norther Virginia just outside Washington DC. Love the gate with the mirror. You make me feel at home my Grandmother was born in the East End and I have not been back to London or Cornwall where I was brought up, for a long time with COVID. I have ordered some calla lillies as I am planning a moon garden & a black n white garden around my patios. Thanks God I found the garden community. Take Care
Oh Julie thank you, so your Grandmother was an Eastender! That’s amazing. The old Eastenders were what we call ‘salt of the earth’ and the women especially were very strong types, the backbone of the family. My grandmother was one too, they held the family together. What a wonderful story, I’m so pleased we have connected 😍
Very helpful Janette. Thank you. I am trying the same thing with my Caladiums. I must be doing it right because I did the same as you. 🥰
Hi Lauren, caladiums are definitely on my wish list for next year because I think they are all absolutely gorgeous 😍
Lucy is so sweet and a great cohost. The best part of the video was you two cuddling. Gardeners are great people its awesome two youtubers featured your video. Great information and love the heather in the pots.
Oh thank you Adra for your lovely comments 😍
Hello
Tuned in to those channels. Richard in new york has nothing but praise for you. I can see gardening is so therapeutic for him.
He is such a lovely kind man who just adores his lovely family.
Very very nice beautiful video friend
Thank you so much 😍
Welcome my sweet friend
That so lovely, thank you.
Thank you for this, going to do mine now. Happy gardening 😊
Happy gardening Lil ... good luck 😉
Love your channel!
Such a delightful person!
I removed the cover off of the indoor greenhouses and laid my babies ..not touching on the racks this year...I have found them to be HAPPY..GREAT COLOR..NO ROT..LOOKS LIKE I JUST DUG THEM UP!
I ATTRIBUTE IT TO GREAT AIR CIRCULATION I GUESS
Sounds like it’s all going well with you Rierie! And thank you for such a lovely comment 😍
You both have great channels! Thanks for the tips. Look forward to the next. Blessings.
Thank you so much Blissful Spaces 😍
I save mine also, saves money for other plants!
So true! 🥰
Janette - the invoice joke was hilarious!
🤣🤣 hi Paul, well that will teach Richard to throw my stuff away 🤣 thanks for watching 😍
Hi Paul, when's the next video coming?
Loved the little doggie cuddles in the middle....we gardeners are such softies😂 good luck with your Cannas and Callas, they certainly look healthy enough and on a bed of invoices how could they not make it through the winter 😜 I'm in the middle of drying Caladiums at the moment before storing them. Well worth the effort!
I hope it was worth all that effort Una. I really love caladiums, they are on my wish list for next year. Yes, best place for those invoices 🧾🤣 and Little Lucy is like a new dog all bouncy again after she had her teeth out, so cute. Hope you’re ok. 😍
Poor little Lucy. There is nothing worse than a tooth ache. She's obviously feeling a lot better now, she was smothering you in kisses and hugs 😍
awesome .. Thank you!
Oh and thank you so much for watching Semi 🥰
Your hair is soooo pretty. Not sure if I mentioned it in your last video. Turning on the hose first does help a tiny little bit.LOL Love love love the heathers in with the rock!
Oh thank you so much Nikki. Yes ... need to turn the hose on 🤣🤣
You are the poshest dressed gardener I've ever seen 💃 x
Oh no Deborah 🤣🤣 all my clothes are charity shops and eBay! I spend all my money on plants!! 🤣🤣 thank you for commenting, you have made me smile 😊
Funny, I found the most interesting part of the video was how you kept that nice looking coat so clean. Whenever I dig up my cannas I make a mess of my clothes. Thanks!
🤣🤣 Jerry that made me smile!
Thanks for all the great tips! I tried them for the first time this year and they didn't do too well either. Fingers crossed they'll be better this year. Love your jacket! It's gorgeous!! New subscriber here! Looking forward to learning more from you! ☺️
Hello there and so lovely to have a new gardening friend 🥰 where are you from? It’s absolutely pouring down here this morning so no gardening here 🤣🤣
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener I'm in Ontario, Canada :) where are you? I can't recall if you mentioned it in your video :)
I am in Essex which is about 30 miles east of London in England. I forgot to say that my jacket was a charity shop find 🎉🎉 isn’t it amazing we can chat across the world these days?
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener what a beautiful place to live! I have good friends in Oxford and love all of England. One day I'll be back 😊
Great find! I love it when that happens!! Check out the TH-cam Gardeners Facebook group - it's a small group of gardening TH-camrs. It's a very active group with lots of like-minded folks - I think you'll like it 😊
Ooh thank you I will have a look definitely! I’ve never been to Oxford 🤭
Great job, iv still do do mine it's just been soo wet up here haven't got round to it but last year I left mine in the pot and covered with mulch and they were fine, but just depends on the winter wasn't that cold here last winter but I think I'm going to take them out this time, thanks for the video, oh your dog is soo cute x😊
Hi Helen, yes mine were fine the first year I left them in but I think you’re right, it’s all about the weather. Thank you for watching 😍 yes my little dogs are very cuddly 😍
Hi
You've got a good crop of roots from your calla lilies. Maybe fill three pots next year. Worth a try storing them. I'll tune in to the channels you mention soon. Lucy is so cute. I see lotte came out for a look too.
Hi Sharon, great idea about the pots. Might try that with a couple. Yes Lotte and Lucy are very adorable 😍
Royalty, pope, now celebrity lol
Janette if anyone deserves to be shown around the world it's you mate.
The leaves look a bit like rubber plant leaves...
What would happen if you put them in a conservatory?
Would they keep growing like a houseplant? Or is that a stupid question?
I like that pot you could grow carrots or potatoes in that. 🙂
Oh dear another expense or are glasses on Richards hint list lol
So you put the lilys in the tortoise box right I get it. 👍
I notice the replacement glasses match that rather fetching coat.
All the best
Steve
Steve you are the best compliment giver 😍 I’ve read that of canna lilies are kept above 10 degrees Celsius then they will grow through the winter and even flower but I don’t have anywhere like a conservatory to keep them. And also you can keep them indoors but they need six hours of direct sunlight every day and my bungalow is quite dark inside, I don’t have any south facing windows at all. So thought I’d try the storing method and 🤞 because it was quite a lengthy process but good fun trying it out. The 🐢 tortoise box made me laugh. And yes at least I have my red glasses still but I’m going to try contact lenses out I think, I keep breaking my glasses and it costs a fortune to replace them 🤓 funny how you see a large pot and want to put potatoes in it, and I think it needs flowers 🤣 hope you’re having a great week. I think I’m going to order myself a HotBin, I keep looking at them on Amazon. Expensive, but so are all the bags of compost I keep buying. Other women buy handbags and shoes, and I get leaf blowers and pitch forks 🤣🤣 take care Steve and thanks for always commenting 😍
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener That's My kind of women, one who orders gardening equipment, and knows how to use it. and who's not afraid of getting their hands dirty.
Richard must be so proud of you.
Now if we could only get you growing organic vegetables...😃
Good luck with the hot bin, before you make your purchase check on e-bay, I often find things so much cheaper on there, and if you pay with paypal it's safe.
Keep well and stay safe in virus riddled Essex lol
🤣🤣 yes I must grow vegetables and if I do they will be organic. No chemicals in my garden (apart from for my box tree caterpillars). I am in two minds about the composter so not going to buy just yet and thanks for your tip about checking prices first. Will do. And you keep safe too in Essex!! Stay in the garden 😁
My next job 👍👍👍
Goof luck!!
Hi, did you do an update of how they did after over wintering?
Hi there Chante, thank you for watching this video. It was actually about 2 years ago now and I forgot to follow it up. So sorry. However there are lots of really great videos on TH-cam about storing these beautiful plants over winter. I’m sure Laura at Garden Answer has quite a few, she is one of the best. I’ve actually ordered 4 new canna lillies which are on their way from Farmer Gracy in the Netherlands which I’m really excited to plant when it gets a bit warmer so I’ll show you those when I get them. Again, apologies that I don’t have anything to share with you. Hope you have a great weekend, I’m not sure if I’ll get much gardening done because the weather has been awful all this week. We’ve had snow, rain, wind - everything!! 🥰
Great video and very useful thank you👌, but omg, your glasses😬
🤣🤣 I know Rose Mary 👓🤣 thank you for watching 😍
Does your shed have to be completely frost free?
Paul, I think cool and dry is the main criteria. I’ve even read that you can store the bulbs in a refrigerator so I am thinking the shed will be ok. I think dampness would be more of a problem. 🤞 because I’ve never done this before 😍
Makes it even more exciting - I’ve never grown these lilies - I fancy some now!
Plant some next Spring Paul and we can have a contest for the tallest 🤝👍
OK Janette! 😉
I have planted two "golden lucifer" canna lily rhizomes in one big container, it has been 2 weeks now in the rainy season... . When do the young leaves appear from the soil? Thanks..
Hello Antonius. Thanks for watching. These rhizomes are very tender and susceptible to frost so I am a bit worried that you have planted yours far too early. Of course I don’t know where you live but they like zones 8-11 and the advice if you Google says to plant them in April and they will then grow and bloom in late summer, so I think you should either dig them up and store them for a few more months or move your container somewhere a bit warmer, perhaps in a garage or greenhouse, and then put it back outside again in the Spring. If you Google the Golden Lucifer it explains this. I hope this helps 😍
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener this might sounds silly...a day after i posted a question to you two shoots appear from the soil(!!). O my God i'm so happy x D.. . I live in Indonesia, a tropical country, here there are only 2 seasons rainy and summer/ hot season. In rainy season here the temperature is not cold but rather cool or even warm about 20 to 25 degree celcius. Subscribed.
Oh Antonius that is wonderful. I was thinking you lived somewhere near me and you are on the other side of the world 🌎 in the Southern Hemisphere with a tropical climate, so my advice was completely wrong, I am very glad to say 😊 what a wonderful part of the world to live in. I understand you don’t have 4 seasons like we do, just dry and rainy seasons. So I’m really pleased you have little shoots and thank you so much for subscribing too 😍 happy weekend.
Would you water the lily bulbs over winter at any point? I have left mine in the pots but was thinking of leaving them in the dark and dry in the shed. Or would they need some light? I do have a window that is covered with wood.
Hi there, I don’t know where in the world you are, but I have this article which is really good and hope it’s helpful for you:

@@TheEnthusiasticGardener Hi sorry I live in the north east in the UK. It gets very cold and wet here on the coast hence why I'm thinking not to leave the pots outside over winter! Thanks for the link.
I think the most important thing is that your pots don’t freeze. Don’t know what your weather’s been like this weekend, but it hasn’t stopped raining down here in Essex. Was hoping to plant my tulip and daffodil bulbs this weekend but that didn’t happen 🤣
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener hey! It's been very heavy rain and winds here, around 10 degrees during daytime, in fact i went outside on Saturday lunchtime to a large French lavender plant being tipped over!! Tulips sound lovely, i hope you get the weather for planting them soon!
Oh no! Poor lavender, hope you managed to save it. It’ll be dark soon today!! Wishing you a fabulous week 😍
Mine are indoor plants in pots. Do I need to do the same?
I really think it all depends on your climate, where you live etc. I think they are good indoors too. I just don’t have the room, plus my house is very dark inside. Thank you for watching 😁
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener im in the UK
@@floatingpeaks4584 I think they will do really well inside. Let me know as I could try that next year 😍
Kisses help the gardening?😁😁
Oh yes 😁😁 thanks for watching 😁😁
What month are you doing this ?
Hi there Audrey, you can leave them in even after a frost, but you should dig them up before the ground freezes over. Hope that helps. 🥰
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener thanks I’ll try that. I left them in the ground last year and they did not do so well this year 🤞🏽for next year 😊
I don’t think anything did very well this year, for anyone! So much heat everywhere, our plants struggled 😊
Shame about your 👓 glasses and good idea for the invoices 🧾🤣🤣
🤣🤣 yes I only have one pair of glasses left so 🤞
