Our "Bloom or Bust" Promise

Cannas are rhizomatous plants that store energy underground. ‘Wyoming’ holds an RHS Award of Garden Merit and is prized for its bronze foliage and big orange flowers from midsummer.

Canna ‘Wyoming’ creates an instant tropical feel with bold, bronze-purple leaves and large, frilled orange blooms that bring heat and drama to summer borders, patios and container displays.

A robust, clump-forming plant, it can reach around 1.5–2.5m in good conditions. The tall stems and oversized foliage make it ideal as a statement plant, while flowers open from midsummer to early autumn for a long show.

Plant rhizomes in a warm, sheltered position in full sun, in rich, moisture-retentive but well-drained soil. Cannas thrive in large pots or sunny borders and perform best when their roots are kept consistently moist in summer.

Water freely through the growing season and feed every two to three weeks once growth is established. Deadhead to encourage more blooms, and provide support if grown in an exposed, windy position.

Perfect for sub-tropical planting schemes and showy containers, canna ‘Wyoming’ pairs beautifully with dahlias and grasses. As it is tender, lift and store rhizomes frost-free over winter in colder areas.

Where to Plant:

Choose a warm, sheltered spot in full sun. Cannas love rich soil and consistent moisture, so they are excellent in large containers or sunny borders where you can water regularly.

How to Plant:

Plant rhizomes in April–May once frosts are past, laying them horizontally 10–15cm deep. Space 45–60cm apart, firm in and water thoroughly.

Aftercare:

Water freely and feed regularly in summer. After frost blackens the foliage, cut back and lift rhizomes, storing them barely moist and frost-free until spring.
