Canna 'Tropical Yellow' (Canna lily)
£8.79
Unit price perEstimated Delivery between January 12 and January 14.
Canna ‘Tropical Yellow’ is a compact, tropical-looking plant that produces rich yellow flowers with subtle red spotting, adding bright, sunny colour to patios, borders and exotic planting schemes.
A vigorous, clump-forming canna, it reaches around 50–100cm and carries its blooms above very large, dark green leaves. Flowers appear from midsummer to mid autumn, giving a long, reliable display.
Plant rhizomes in spring once the soil is warming, in full sun or light partial shade, in rich, moisture-retentive but well-drained soil. It performs brilliantly in large containers where watering is easy to manage.
Water freely through the growing season and feed regularly once growth is established. Deadhead spent blooms to keep plants tidy and encourage more flowers, and shelter from strong winds if grown in an exposed site.
Ideal for pots, summer bedding and sub-tropical borders, this canna combines well with dahlias and grasses. In colder areas, lift and store rhizomes frost-free over winter to protect from hard frosts.

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!
