Description Family Cannaceae Garden origin A huge canna, with tall stout stems and large bronzy purple banana like leaves. Big, blousy orange-red flowers appear from midsummer until autumn. Easy to grow in full sun or part shade in fertile soil. Bronzy green and purple coloured, luscious and abundant foliage perfectly compliments the smouldering orange flowers of this lovely variety. One of the taller cannas, its stout upright stems bear at their tips the big flamboyant, multitudinous blooms in spikes of buds that produce a succession of flowers for many weeks in summer. Cannas love rich fertile soil, to which we say horse poo! Lots of it too. Nothing like it enriches and improves the soil structure to make canna heaven. Easy to grow in full sun or part shade. Mulch with straw to protect the rhizomes for winter. Height and spread after 2 – 5 years 3m x 1m
