Dwarf Canna Lilies Tropical Salmon

Flowers from summer till autumn with beautiful bright salmon pink flowers. Very eye-catching.

With a little care and attention they will thrive almost anywhere in Australia.
The flowers of Canna Lilies are bright and bold. They bloom all through the summer creating quite a show.
Canna Lilies are tough plants that have adapted to survive neglect. They have rhizomes that store water and nutrients for the tough times, and shoot when times are good. Canna Lilies grow and establish quickly and will gradually form clumps.
Canna Lilies grow well in any humus rich soil. They also grow in boggy soils, and once established will also tolerate dry conditions. Canna Lilies can be grown in large containers.
To get the most out of your Canna Lilies, we recommend a liquid fertiliser monthly through summer, mulch in winter and add some sulphate of potash and blood and bone in spring. Cut the spent flowers and foliage to the ground each autumn.
Dig and divide your Canna Lilies in autumn as they become overcrowded.
Cannas are commonly known as Indian Shot. This is because the seed pods have a very hard casing and were rumoured to have been used as ammunition by native Americans. More likely though it is because the seeds resemble the old lead buck shot ammunition of the 18th and 19th centuries.
Dead head the flowers regularly to extend the show.
