10 Canna
Tropical Beauty Spectacular, tropical-looking summer bulbs! Bold colours
and impressive stature make cannas both focal points
and stylish accents wherever they’re planted. Both
container-friendly dwarf varieties (40 to 60 cm high)
and standard tall varieties (up to 2 metres tall) bloom
summer-long, from July to the first frost. Canna
flowers look something like a cross between an iris
and an over-sized lily and boast an extraordinary range
of reds, pinks, orange, yellow and creamy-whites. Leaves
are paddle-shaped and wrap around flower stems in dramatic
ruffles. Foliage colours range from green to maroon to bronze,
in solid or variegated patterns. Although often grown
as annuals, you can lift your Canna bulbs in the fall 'Cleopatra' Canna
and store them inside during the winter.
Growing Conditions
• Full sun
• Rich, loose, and fresh soil
• Regular and abundant watering, mulching
• Remove faded flowers to stimulate new blooms
