The dwarf canna
is a canna cultivar that grows to about 2-3 feet tall. It comes in a variety of
colors. The seeds will produce plants that have a variety of flower colors,
including red, orange yellow and pink. Cannas are
among the most colorful summer bulbs—as flamboyant as their tropical American
ancestry—with ruffled spikes tapering to refined buds. The gorgeous cannas
boast immense, often-veined, paddle-shaped leaves and sheathing leafstalks in
shades of green or bronze—and flashy blooms that stand tall on their stems.
With their great reedy canes and palmy foliage, cannas would be magnificent
even if they never bloomed. However, they keep pumping out colorful flowers
from late spring or early summer to frost. When most flowers can’t take the
heat of late July and early August, cannas thrive. Their flowers come in
many bright colors—red, orange, yellow, and pink—and their foliage also offers
options—green, bronze, and variegated.
Plant cannas as
a tall border; they are even perfect for narrow spaces. The plant looks
fantastic when backlit by a setting sun. Or, make cannas the focus and hero of
large patio pots filled with super bright annuals. Liven up plantings near
water features or boggy areas where these cannas will happily thrive. You can
even grow them in large containers indoors near brightly lit windows. Mix
cannas with grasses, lantana, zinnias, snapdragons, elephant ears, salvia,
periwinkles and more. Cannas are planted both as eye catching focal points and
as small, unsuspecting accents. Not only are cannas colorful but their
contrasting foliage can create some interest in the garden. Zones 7-11.
Growing
Instructions
The seeds have
a hard seed coat that has to be treated, or scarified, in order for water to
enter the seeds so that they can sprout. The seeds can be planted outdoors at
any time of the year or they can be grown in containers and then transplanted
when they are large enough to be transplanted.
1. Scarify the
seeds by filing a notch in the seed coat or use sandpaper to sand part of it
down.
2. Soak the
seeds in water for 48 hours.
3. Plant the
seeds individually or in group of 4-5 in a small pot with potting soil.
4. When the
seedlings are over 6 inches tall, they can be transplanted into larger pots or
they can be transplanted outdoors.
