Canna Tropicanna Black 4.7L

Tropicanna® Cannas are the most exotic of all cannas. They stand out from all the rest – and for good reason. The foliage is exotic and astonishing; the flowers are magnificent. They are plants that landscape professionals reach for when they need to create an impact. These plants take the hero position in mixed container plantings. Tropicanna Cannas thrive with no fuss, making them the favourite canna of home gardeners everywhere, and they are available in three amazing colours.

Tropicanna® Black has scarlet-orange flowers and purple-black leaves.

A position in full sun is best, though Tropicanna cannas tolerate partial shade. They cope in most soils including poorly drained areas. Full foliage colour develops when days are warmer (15ºC or more), and the plant looks fantastic when backlit by a setting sun. Cut plants back to 10cm in late autumn to prepare for next summer’s show.

Mature height: 1.2-1.8m
