Canna, ‘Crimson Beauty’

Canna, ‘Crimson Beauty’ is a striking canna that has bright scarlet flowers with medium-green foliage. Lovely grown in masses. In late summer when bold flowers are scarce enjoy these, warm, flamboyant flowers. These fiery blooms are eye-catching from across the garden (just ask the hummingbirds)! Perfect for the middle of a border or in a pot to brighten up any garden or patio.

Cannas bring a touch of the tropics to wherever they are planted. These exotic looking plants are indispensable for a splendid summer border bursting with drama. Their size, bright, showy flowers, and foliage patterns ensure that your Cannas will stand out. Large, exotic looking plants with beautiful flowers and decorative foliage. Makes a great centerpiece in bedding schemes and large containers. As soon as a stalk has finished blooming, remove it and a new one will take its place. If faded flowers are not removed, seeds will form and flowering will cease.
