Product Information
Easier to grow than you may think, cannas are one of those exotic beauties that swiftly helps to create a bright, intensely coloured summer garden.
With large, banana shaped leaves, their fiery, bright colour combinations will erupt throughout your beds and borders, adding great height and impact too.
'Tropicanna Gold' produces a dramatic striped foliage that will create a dazzling effect that is further enhanced when the bright golden-orange flowers appear.
Renowned for their tall flower spikes and architectural leaves, grow them in large pots, or at the back of hot-themed borders, in hot, sunny spots, in well-drained areas.
Feed and water well when in growth - they will not start growing much until May, then they romp away quickly as the summer warms.
Cannas will over-winter if they do not get too wet and will benefit from a mulch, or the rhizome can be dug up and stored in a cool, frost-free place over the winter for use again next year.
Supllied as 3 x established plants in 9cm pots, ready to pot on or plant out.

Top Tips
Care Information
- Plant in a sheltered position in full sun during late spring, once the risk of frost has passed.
- Water freely during dry weather.
- Plant in fertile, moist and well-drained soil.
- If temperatures are maintained above 10°C (50°F) cannas will remain in growth all winter and flower occasionally.
- Lift the plants in autumn after the foliage has been frosted. Break large clumps into two or three and pot the pieces into 10in (or so) pots. You can then overwinter them in any frost-free shed or greenhouse, keeping them just slightly moist.
- When the plants start to push up their red shoots in spring, bring them into a light place, water well and protect them from late frosts.
- By June, growth will be well under way and they can be planted once more.
