3 TROPICANNA CANNA LILY Rhizome Bulb Vivid Variegated Foliage & Orange Flowers
Details
Cannas are lush tropical plants with huge leaves and vibrant blossoms on tall stalks. Many varieties have multicolored and patterned leaves, making them a season-long focal point.
The Tropicanna Canna is an elusive variety which grows up to 72 inches and is known for their extraordinary foliage and vibrant blooms. Another characteristic that distinguishes them from ordinary cannas – often 1 or more eyes are contained inside the rhizome and will emerge and sprout after the first has developed top growth.
Cannas are a great poolside plant because there are no dropping from the leaves or blooms !!
Rare and exotic plant with orange blooms and brightly striped orange red and green foliage make this look like a living fire in your yard.

Care instructions:
Mild winters (USDA zones 7 through 11): As soon as the leaves begin to die back, cut off foliage to soil level, and leave in-ground or in pots over the winter. In Spring, growth will start up as warmer temperatures arrive.
Areas with severe winters (USDA zones 3 through 6): As soon as the leaves begin to die back, cut off foliage to about 4 inches, dig up the rhizomes, let them dry for a few days in a protected area. Store the rhizomes in a cool dry place for the winter surrounded with wood chips if possible. Divide the rhizome shoots and replant in spring after last frost. Start indoors to get an early jump on the season, but do not put outside until all danger of frost is past. They require a soil temperature minimum of 60 degrees to begin to grow in early spring, but grow best once temperatures reach 75+ F.
