This canna is something new for me to grow. I have brought in other years canna's but haven't never grown them from a plug. So learning for me too. I will be getting these next week, so hope to put some growth on them before they go into your garden. Talk about a Thriller plant this is one. Give it some thought for that tropical look in your gardens.
Canna Cannova Red Shades
Height: 4 feet
Spread: 20 inches
Sunlight: IN full sun
A tropical look in the garden with huge green leaves; large flowers that are beautiful shades of coral and red, on top of this medium height variety; perfect for borders or as an accent. Cannova Red Shades at the ends of the stems from mid summer to early fall. It's attractive large glossy pointy leaves remain green in color throughout the year. The fruit is not ornamentally significant.
Where to plant:
Cannova Red Shades Canna is an herbaceous evergreen annual for us with a rigidly upright and towering form. Its wonderfully bold, coarse texture can be very effective in a balanced garden composition. It is a good choice for attracting hummingbirds to your yard. Can be used for mass planting, container planting or accent plant.
This plant should only be grown in full sunlight. It requires an evenly moist well-drained soil for optimal growth, but will die in standing water. It is not particular as to soil pH, but grows best in rich soils. It is highly tolerant of urban pollution and will even thrive in inner city environments, and will benefit from being planted in a relatively sheltered location. This plant can be propagated by division.
