Rich lush green foliage and bright red blooms that appear from summer through to autumn will add a touch of the tropics to your planting schemes. Easy to grow in a sunny spot in soil that does not completely dry out in summer. Cut back hard after flowering. Perennial.

Cannas are frost tender but as they are dormant in winter they will survive winter cold as long as you put a nice blanket of mulch over the rhizomes in winter.
