canna’s
My folks had an amazing group of them in their old house in SW France - so possibly not helpful from a UK perspective, but thought some of the overall info may help:
- walled garden, very protected
- on the south facing wall
- no intervention/left in the ground unprotected over winter
- brilliant agricultural soil
- middle of winter tends to be pretty cold - colder than London, but not too wet. Rest of the year does have rain, albeit less than the UK.
- fuck all watering ever
- walled garden, very protected

Anyone have first hand experience with canna’s? Wife went berserko at the garden centre (buy first, research later) and they look mega but sound faffy - very thirsty but needs free draining soil, dig up rhizomes to winter store etc
