Description

Love your garden in late summer when rosy beauty Canna 'Pink Princess' fashions herself a fabulous crown of big, exotic pink blooms. But you don’t have to wait all summer for a good show – through the earlier months while she’s building up for her big floral finale she’s a stately green goddess, towering up to 1.5m tall with big lush leaves which pad out the planting scheme and provide a tranquil, emerald setting for your summer flowers.

Cannas typically look gorgeous in a tropical style border combined with other exotic-looking plants like dahlias, but they can fit in really well to a more traditional style too and look brilliant grouped together amongst clumps of flowering perennials in border. On the other hand, if your garden is contemporary or has smaller planting spaces, these stylish Canna 'Pink Princess' can fit right in (literally) - with their small footing they’re great at making a big impact in a small space.

Useful information

    • Soak your Canna 'Pink Princess' roots in water for 3-6 hours prior to planting.

    • Plant your bare roots into temporary pots with a multipurpose compost in spring and grow-on in a sheltered spot outdoors.

    • Choose a pot which comfortably fits the bare roots. Some have a noticeable crown which should be just below the soil surface with any top growth exposed.

    • Plant out into borders or permanent containers in late spring or early summer once in full growth. Choose a position in sun or shade depending on the variety.
