Canna Tropicanna Gold
This tender perennial will bring an exotic flavour to the garden! Luxuriant large leaves streaked with gold form opulent clumps that make a magnificent feature even before the flowers appear. From June to October, tangerine orange blooms rise on sturdy stems to create the perfect contrast. Canna ‘Tropicanna Gold’ loves a damp, sunny position beside a pond or as a feature plant in moist borders and patio containers. Despite its tropical looks, this Indian Shot Plant is easy to grow, and can be lifted in autumn and stored in a frost free position until spring, to ensure a fabulous display year after year. Height: 150cm (60). Spread: 50cm (20).Culinary note: Canna lily rhizomes can be eaten raw and have a taste similar to water chestnut, although sometimes bitter. They can also be boiled and baked, the same as a potato and have a similar texture and taste. For more details about edible flowers click here.
