It is a rhizomatous plant that is native to the tropical and subtropical regions of the Americas, particularly Central America and the Andes. Description

• Size: This is one of the largest and most impressive canna species, with stems reaching up to 5 metres (12 to 16 feet) tall under favourable conditions.
• Foliage: It has very large, bright green, banana-like leaves up to 70cm long and 36cm wide, which give it a lush, jungle-like appearance.
• Flowers: Dazzling heads of large, tubular flowers appear during mid-to-late summer. The colour is typically orange, but can also be reddish-pink.
• Seeds: The flowers are followed by large, dark-coloured, spherical seed pods. 

Growing and care

• Sunlight: Prefers full sun and a sheltered spot.
• Soil: Thrives in fertile, moisture-retentive, well-drained soil that has been enriched with organic matter.
• Watering: Requires high and consistent watering, especially during warm months and the main growing season.
• Fertilising: Cannas are heavy feeders and benefit from a balanced fertiliser applied in spring and midsummer.

Please note that your plants leaves may look slightly yellow / brown this is NOT canna virus but due to the time of the year as they are now finishing.
