Cannas grow best in full sun with moderate water in well-drained, rich or sandy [[soil]]. They grow from perennial [[rhizome]]s, but are frequently grown as annuals in temperate zones for an exotic or tropical look in the garden.<ref name=Cooke/> In arid regions, cannas are often grown in the water garden, with the lower inch of pot submerged. In all areas, high winds tear the leaves, so shelter is advised.

The rhizomes are sensitive to frost and will rot if left unprotected in freezing conditions. In areas with winter temperatures below {{convert|-10|C|F}} in the winter (< USDA Zone 8b), the rhizomes can be dug up before freezing and stored (above {{convert|7|C|F|disp=or}}) for replanting in the spring. Otherwise, they should be protected by a thick layer of mulch over winter.<ref name=Cooke/>
