Q.Canna Canova Bronze Orange Blooms Are Drooping, What Causes That?

Zone 76182 | Anonymous added on May 31, 2025 | Answered

Canna Canova Bronze orange, I have 2 of them, plant itself is upright and getting fuller, but the blooms burst out beautifully, then droop 90 degrees to the plant. Seems healthy otherwise. Is the bloom too heavy for the stem? Not over watered, not dry, getting 6 hours plus of sun. Thank you!

It could be a fertility problem. Cannas need moist, rich soil and consistent fertilizing through the summer. If you aren't fertilizing, see if that helps. Here is how:
