Canna, Semi-Dwarf ‘Pink President’

Canna ‘Pink President’ produces radiant pink blooms on green foliage reaching heights of 3-4′. Cannas, with their lush tropical foliage and showy gladiolus-like flowers, make borders and beds come alive with their bright colors all summer long till frost. Long valued by the park and municipal gardeners, home gardeners now realize the value of these hybrids. Plant ‘Pink President’ cannas 18″ apart. Plants prefer warm temperatures and bloom best after several weeks of above 80° F temperatures.

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. 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.

Planting/Care Instructions +

Planting Instructions: Plant in spring, after the ground, warms to about 50º F. Dig a hole 2-4" deep. Place rhizome in the hole. Cover with soil and water thoroughly. Cannas thrive in sunlight, heat, and humidity but be sure to provide plenty of water during the growing season. When 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. In areas where the ground freezes, dig up rhizomes once foliage dies back in the fall. Allow bulbs to dry for a day or two before storing them in a cool, dark well-ventilated place for the winter.
