Canna 'Cannova Red Shades' is a hybrid canna that stands out for its splendid deep red flowering, with slender, elongated leaves held vertically for an elegant, refined effect.

Characteristics
Strong upright stems carry trumpet shaped flowers in shades of intense red from summer to autumn, above bold green foliage.

Growing and care
Easy for experienced and beginner gardeners alike: it needs little maintenance and tolerates short dry spells, and it stands up to strong wind and heavy rain without significant damage. Give it sun or light shade and fertile, well drained soil, plant in spring after the frosts, feed during growth and deadhead regularly. In cold areas lift the rhizomes or mulch them deeply.

Uses
Vibrant borders, tropical style beds, focal groups and large containers.
