Make a Bold Statement with Canna Lily Tubers

If you want drama, colour, and tropical flair in your garden, Canna Lilies deliver in abundance. These vigorous, fast-growing tubers produce towering stems topped with vivid, orchid-like flowers in fiery shades of red, orange, yellow, and pink — all set against lush, paddle-shaped foliage that ranges from deep green to rich bronze and striped varieties. A single planting creates an instant focal point that lasts all summer long.

Why You'll Love Them

• Dramatic tropical impact — Bold blooms and striking foliage bring an exotic, lush feel to any garden
• Fast growing — Tubers establish quickly and can reach full height within weeks of planting
• Long flowering season — Blooms continuously from midsummer right through to the first frosts
• Versatile — Stunning in garden borders, large containers, and as a dramatic backdrop plant
• Easy to overwinter — Lift tubers after the season, store frost-free, and replant each spring

Growing Guide

Plant tubers 10–15 cm deep in fertile, well-draining soil enriched with compost, spacing them 45–60 cm apart. Choose a warm, sheltered position in full sun for the best flowering. Water regularly and feed with a balanced fertiliser every two to three weeks during the growing season. In cooler climates, lift tubers after the first frost and store in slightly damp compost in a cool, frost-free location over winter.

Perfect For

Gardeners looking to create a lush, tropical-inspired garden without the tropical climate. Ideal for filling large borders, adding height to mixed plantings, or making a bold statement in oversized patio containers.
