Product description
Canna Tropicanna is a brilliant choice for bringing bold, tropical colour into your garden without any fuss. Its large, fiery red flowers rise above lush, striped foliage, creating an instant focal point in borders, beds, or large pots. This is a plant that looks exotic but behaves reliably, thriving through the warm months and adding height, drama, and a real sense of summer energy to any outdoor space. It’s a great option for gardeners who enjoy standout plants that make an impact from a distance.
Caring for Canna Tropicanna is surprisingly straightforward. Plant the bulbs in spring once the soil has warmed, choosing a sunny, sheltered spot with rich, well drained soil. Keep them well watered during dry spells and feed regularly to support strong growth and continuous flowering. As the season ends, you can lift and store the bulbs in a frost free place, or mulch heavily if you’re in a milder area. With just a little attention, these Cannas will reward you year after year with vibrant colour and a lush, tropical feel.

Top Tip
Deadhead spent Canna flowers to enjoy a longer and more impressive display. Simply snip off each faded flower head as it finishes, and the plant will keep sending up new spikes throughout the summer.
How to Water
Cannas like consistent moisture, so water them regularly through the growing season, especially during warm or dry spells. Aim to keep the soil evenly damp but never waterlogged, as soggy conditions can cause the bulbs to rot rather than thrive.
How to Plant
Choose a sheltered, sunny spot and plant Canna bulbs in spring once the soil has warmed. Place the bulbs 5-10cm deep in rich, well‑drained soil with the growing points facing upward.
