Canna 'Cannova' Red creates a tropical atmosphere in your garden or balcony. These extraordinary plants bloom with beautiful, eye-catching flowers in a popping red colour. Originally from Central and South America, the Canna has gained popularity in southern Europe because of its colourful flowers that bloom abundantly all summer long. A surprising fact about the Canna is that they are not only found in warmer climates. In fact, they exist in almost every climate, even above the Arctic Circle. As long as the summer days are long enough that they get 6-8 hours of sunshine a day, they can grow almost anywhere. This plant is very suitable for the cooler summer climate. The Canna Cannova Red blooms from May until October and can grow up to 120cm tall.

Care
The Canna Cannova flowers longer by removing spent flowers with the stem and cutting just above the ground. Fertilize the Canna regularly, and make sure it gets enough water. The soil should not dry out, because Canna is originally a riparian plant. Because of this, it should always stand in moist soil. Canna Cannova is not hardy. Dig up tubers in October after the plant has finished flowering, cut off all loose roots and remove all foliage. Take a bucket or pot of potting soil and bury the tubers in it. Put them in a cool, frost-free place to overwinter. Water every week, even in winter Cannas should not dry out. In March they can go outside again so they can grow again.

Size
The plant has a height of 35-45cm upon delivery, measured including the nursery pot. The plant is supplied in a nursery pot with a diameter of 17cm.
