Canna Tropicanna® Phasion 180MM

Canna var. 'Tropicanna® Phasion'

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

Habit Shrub - Bright and bold colour
Plant family Cannaceae
I am a dramatic, multi-hued tropical foliage plant, with a blazing foliage that gives colour even when it's not in flower. My bright orange flowers feature from summer to late autumn. My striped multi-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 blazing foliage in shades of red, gold and green brings structure and colour to the garden
I am topped with large vibrant orange flowers from summer to late autumn
I perform well in pots and am a great way to brighten up patios and paved areas
