See - that got your interest didn't it :~))

My potted canna's are growing away strongly in the GH. They are about
9 inches at the moment. I was wondering whether I could put them
outside already ?

I know it's a bit early, but the pots (large!) stand together in a
group and I can always cover them with fleece if the weather turns a
bit iffy.

We live in the inner city (Rotterdam) so it's always a bit warmer than
out in the countryside.

The same question goes for several other frost tender things that are
roping away and taking up too much space..........Tibouchina,
Cordyline, Abutilon, etc

You've asked this question before Jenny, didn't anyone reply ?

I would say yes for the Cannas and Cordyline but not sure about the others.
I thought Cordylines were hardy...mine stay out all year without any
problem.

I've put them all out anyway and will keep a keen eye on the weather
forecast....:~)
