Canna


The disease you have described is bud rot. This bacterial disease can spread from leaves and flowers into the stems causing plant death. There is no effective chemical control. To manage bud rot, reduce excess moisture. Water in morning so foliage dries out. Space plants apart for better air circulation. Pick off infected leaves and flowers. Remove severely disease plants and soil surrounding them.
