Description

Create a leafy paradise to relax in this summer with this peppy canna collection, comprising three gorgeous, assorted tall varieties. This luscious mix of some of the most loved cannas along with a couple of unusual gems will bring you a glorious combination of colour, structure, height which lasts all summer long, along with an eye-popping finale of flower power to look forward to later in the season!

Fast-growing cannas are the ultimate summer bedding, producing a tall column of magnificent leaves up to 2.5m tall by the end of the season! But their narrow footing makes them suitable for gardens of all sizes, so even if you have a small planting space you can surround yourself with these impressive plants. If you have a large, sunny border to fill, try combining cannas like these with bright-coloured dahlias for a full and gutsy show!

Useful information

    • Soak the Canna 'Mixed Colours' 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. Some varieties are a length of root which should be planted lengthways and shallowly (1-2cm deep).

    • 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.
