Q&A - Something is eating my Cannas. What is it?
Question:
Something is eating my Cannas. This is the first year something is eating my leaves, it starts with the new leaves totally destroying my inner plant & flowers. What is it?
Answer:
This is a canna leaf roller. University of Memphis Director of Landscape Joellen Dimond says the canna leaf roller is a caterpillar and is easy to control with BT (Bacillus thuringiensis). During the growing season keep an eye on your plants and when you begin to see evidence of the leaf roller spray with BT.
