Canna 'Madame Angèle Martin' (Canna lily)
£8.79
Unit price perEstimated Delivery between January 12 and January 14.
Bring a dash of late‑summer theatre to pots and borders with Canna ‘Madame Angèle Martin’. Tall stems carry warm apricot blooms brushed with rose tones, while bronze‑purple foliage adds a rich, tropical backdrop from midsummer into early autumn.
This is a tender, clump‑forming perennial grown from a fleshy rhizome. It’s ideal for creating a ‘holiday garden’ feel alongside grasses, bananas or dahlias, and it also works as a statement plant when you want height, colour and texture in one hit.
For the best results, give cannas full sun and a sheltered position. They enjoy fertile soil that stays evenly moist through the growing season, so improving beds with compost (or using rich potting compost in containers) makes a noticeable difference in vigour and flowering.
Start the rhizome into growth indoors in early spring, then plant outside once frosts have passed. Set the rhizome 5–10cm deep, water in, and keep the plant well fed through summer—regular liquid feeding in pots keeps leaves lush and helps buds form steadily.
When autumn chills arrive, cut back after the first frost and lift the clump to store it frost‑free, or move containers under cover. With a little winter care, you’ll have a bigger rhizome and an even fuller display to look forward to each year.

The bulbs arrived beautifully packaged and you could just tell they were excellent quality. We had the most wonderful display of daffodils this spring on our patio. Simply stunning. Will definitely be ordering again

I ordered the mixed hyacinth collection and the scent in my garden this April was absolutely heavenly. Every single bulb produced a strong, beautiful flower and the colours were stunning together. A fantastic purchase, I'll be back for more next year!
