  • Tall plant

  • Stunning pink petals highlighting yellow centre

  • Bold green leaf 

You can buy here a lot of 5 pink Canna lily plants, sold as bare rooted rhizomes. 1 plant in this listing includes 1 rhizome with 1 (or more) new/emerging shoot. Note: There may be a red flower in some lots.

These Cannas have bright green leaves and will reach approx. 2m (6ft). They look stunning in clumps in pots or in the garden and make exceptional accents when planted along landscape features such as walls and fences. Cannas combine well with spring bulbs, baptisia, daylilies, coneflowers, cuphea, and ornamental grasses.

 

Sun

In their native habitat, the Canna lily plant grows in shaded locations. However, in temperate gardens Cannas like full sun, the more, the better. Canna lilies will survive in a shady site, but they will not grow as profusely. 

Soil

Canna lily plants prefer rich, water-retentive, well-drained soils that are high in organic matter but will do fine in a wide range of soils. They prefer a pH around 6.5.

Water

Cannas do well with a moderate water schedule. Constant moisture will keep Canna attractive and vigourous. Container-grown Canna lilies will need watering once or even twice a day if grown outside, and it may help to stand the pot in a saucer of water.

Fertilizer

Cannas will take a lot of feeding. Provide a slow-release granular or water soluble fertilizer at full rate according to the instructions on the label. Plenty of compost or organic fertilizer to keep their plants looking their best. As long as you are using organics, it is impossible to over-fertilize a canna. Feed monthly with fertiliser with good phosphorous levels to maintain continual bloom.

Growing a Canna Lily plant in a container

Canna lilies are large plants and therefore need a large container. Any good potting soil will work fine. The plants will lose vigor as they become pot-bound. When that happens, lift the root-ball, divide the canna bulbs (rhizomes) and replant. Fertilise and water as above.

Pruning

Pruning is not usually necessary with Canna. But if your Canna lily plant is looking ragged, you can cut the plants to the ground even in midsummer, add fertilizer, water, and they will quickly recover. Old flower stalks will die and fade away on their own, but if you are a neat freak, feel free to cut them back. You can let Canna die back on their own since the old foliage works as a mulch, reduces evaporation and adds organic matter to the soil.

Temperatures

Cannas like really hot temperatures in the summer and perform well at from 26 – 38 deg C. In cooler areas expose to as much sun as possible.
