Canna Tropicanna® GOLD 180MM

Canna var. 'MACtro' Tropicanna® GOLD

I am Canna Tropicanna® GOLD. My family originated from Central America.

Habit Shrub - Bright and bold colour

Plant family Cannaceae

I have exotic green and gold striped foliage and striking golden orange blooms from summer into autumn. My tall lush brightly coloured foliage is great at producing a tropical feel in the garden. I am great against fences or where some informal screening is required. I like a medium to wet soil and am a good choice for beside ponds or where water inundation is likely. I do well either planted in the garden and containers where my upright habit makes me a useful patio option.

I am popular and will make you happy because...

My upright habit and bright variegated foliage brings structure and colour to the garden

I am topped with large vibrant yellow flowers from summer to late autumn

I perform well in pots and am a great way to brighten up patios and paved areas
