Canna 'Wyoming' (Canna lily)
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.
