Blooming from early summer to the first frosts, ‘Cannova Yellow' boasts robust growth and extensive branching ensuring lavish flowering and a lush-looking plant. The jungle-esque foliage gives rise to radiant spikes of faintly-speckled yellow flowers held above large, blue-green paddle-shaped leaves. This compact Canna thrives very well in cooler summers, and is ideally suited for the border, as a patio plant or by the margins of a pond.
How to care for Canna × generalis Cannova Yellow ('Fcaa02') (Cannova Series):
Avoid planting out young plants until all risk of frost has passed. Water regularly during the growing season, applying a phosphorus-rich liquid fertiliser each month. In frost-prone areas lift the rhizomes in autumn and store in a frost-free environment in barely-moist compost or leaf mould.
