Canna Lily Red Royal Seeds

Canna Lily Red Royal is a beautiful tropical looking plant grown for its attractive structural foliage that is accentuated by spectacularly large striking red flower spikes in the warmer months. The amazingly bright red flower spikes are very long lasting and provide a spectacular display over an extended period in both garden landscape settings, and are also suitable for cutting. This Canna is one of the most popular of all the Canna varieties as it is a very strong garden performer which is quite drought tolerant, requires very little maintenance and is very resilient towards many common pests and diseases.

Unlike many of the common and wild varieties of Canna which tend to flower infrequently and generally shed excessive leaves post-flowering, the Canna Red Royal variety is specifically suited to landscape applications because of its superior performance. Canna plants are often planted with Strelitzia Reginae Bird of Paradise TCF3 as the contrasting (green on silver foliage) and counter-cyclical flowering provide year round performance.
