Canna – Mixed Varieties – 50cm Plant in P17 (2 Litre) Pot
Plant Highlights: Mixed selection of bold-flowering cannas • Large tropical-style foliage • Long flowering season • Excellent for borders and containers • Creates dramatic summer displays
Overview
Canna – Mixed Varieties is a selection of herbaceous perennials grown for their bold foliage and colourful flowers. The variety supplied will vary. Flower colour, foliage colour and leaf markings differ between varieties, but all produce impressive upright growth that adds a tropical feel to gardens and patio displays throughout the summer.
Their large leaves provide striking texture even before flowering begins, making cannas an excellent choice for creating bold focal points in sunny borders, large containers and courtyard gardens.

Growing Guide
Plant in a sunny, sheltered position in fertile, moisture-retentive but well-drained soil. Cannas perform best with consistent moisture during the growing season and benefit from regular feeding to encourage vigorous growth and prolonged flowering.
Remove faded flower stems to keep plants looking tidy and encourage continued blooming. In colder areas, provide winter protection for the rhizomes or lift and store them if grown in particularly exposed locations or poorly drained soil.
Why We Love It
Cannas bring bold foliage, vibrant flowers and a lush, tropical character to the garden. They work beautifully as feature plants in large containers or as dramatic accents in mixed borders, where their architectural form provides impact throughout the growing season.
Good to Know
This is a mixed selection. The variety supplied will vary, and flower colour, foliage colour, leaf markings and mature size will differ between individual plants. Only characteristics shared by all cannas in the selection are described.
