Plant Biography

‘Tropicanna Gold’ is a striking Canna whose foliage is striped in joyful green and gold, a perfect foil to large golden-orange flowers with dark speckled throats often borne from July to October on stems up to 1.2m.

Cannas grow from underground rhizomes, which are rich in starch and grown in many areas worldwide as a commercial crop for both humans and livestock. All Canna species originate from semi-tropical and tropical parts of North and South America, though there are large naturalised populations around the world as well as a great many cultivars bred for horticultural display. The species name comes from the Latin for cane or reed, denoting their imposing upright habit.

Care & Size Guidance

Care & Size Guidance

The foliage of ‘Tropicanna Gold’ will reach a height of about 60cm+ but including the flower spikes attain a total of 1.2m. A showy statement feature for a sunny spot, they do best in rich fertile soil or with regular feeding.

They are very sensitive to winter frost: In mild areas they can be left outside in a sunny sheltered position if soil is not too wet and a deep layer of mulch applied. In colder areas they should be lifted after the first Autumn frost, cut back and stored in barely-damp compost in a frost free place for the winter.

Expert Tip

Happy in moist or even boggy ground in summer, they make a great choice for waterside display bedding. However they are also amazing for large well-watered container displays and summer borders.

Gorgeous canna with stunning gold streaks running through leaves. Packaged with care and arrived in very good condition. Potted up same day, given food, water and loads of sunshine and the plant is doing extremely well.
