Ten years in the making, the Cannova Series distinguishes itself from almost every other Canna on the market. Despite its tropical appearance, plants will be early to flower and will bloom reliably outdoors in the UK and Europe! With its bold leaves and showy flowers in shades of bronze, scarlet and red, Canna 'Cannova Mixed' is a great choice for both containers and borders this summer. With their height and exotic colouring, these Canna Lilies look fabulous dotted in beds and in patio pots. Height: 75cm (30in) Spread: 30cm (12). Canna 'Cannova Mixed' comprises: Canna 'Cannova Red Golden Flame' - Striking red Canna Lily flowers edged with golden yellow are held above large, dark green leaves. Canna 'Cannova Bronze Orange' - Bronzed orange Canna Lily flowers contrast beautifully with the dark green foliage. Canna 'Cannova Scarlet' - Vibrant scarlet Canna Lily flowers provide a bright feature point in beds and containers. Culinary note: Canna lily rhizomes can be eaten raw and have a taste similar to water chestnut, although they are sometimes bitter. They can also be boiled and baked, in the same way as a potato and have a similar texture and taste.
