How To Grow
Average pest and disease resistance
Cannas can be affected by Canna yellow mottle virus, Bean yellow mosaic virus and Canna yellow streak virus, which cause symptoms including stunting, distortion and streaking in the leaves and colour breaks in the flowers. If any of these affects your plant, the best thing to do is dispose of it (not in the compost). Pest action includes usual garden pests such as glasshouse red spider mite, aphids, slugs and snails.
Water well
Water regularly throughout spring and summer and don't let the soil dry out.
Full sun
Canna needs a sunny, sheltered position with at least six hours of sunlight daily
Any moist, well-drained soil
Plant in any moist, well-drained soil. If your soil is particularly poor or clay heavy, add some garden compost with perlite to improve drainage.
Feed throughout the growing season
Apply a high potassium feed every 2-3 weeks in the growing season (spring and summer).

Best plants you will ever get online
I have ordered plants from them twice this year. They arrived well packaged, on time and looked strong and healthy. I feel the staff from Roots plants deal with their plants and customers with passion and care. I can’t wait to order again, price is good as well.

Delivered quickly, perfectly packaged and the tree was in excellent condition. Really healthy and taken to the garden with no problems. Can't recommend highly enough. 5 stars isn't enough!
John Harris
Satisfied customer
Unlike other online sellers, this company are well ahead in the quality stakes. My plant arrived promptly as per their promise and the plant was much more established and healthy than I had expected. It’s the second time I have ordered from them and I have faith in their promise. Excellent service.

A really good quality tree
A really good quality tree, delivered on time and very well packaged. But the emailed planting advice and supporting information was what really impressed me. Thoroughly recommended.
