Details

Taller in habit than the 'Cannova' series, Canna 'South Pacific Scarlet' is an award-winning hybrid boasting large red blossoms and lush tropical foliage. Cannas can be planted in full sun or part shade and are ideal for gardens, landscapes, or as a "thriller" in large mixed containers. Flowers all season long. Deadheading not necessary. Performs best in moist, fertile soil. A 2013 All-America Selections winner.

Growing Tips

Dig tubers in the fall after the first frost or when foliage turns brown. Remove most but not all of the soil, lay on newspaper to dry for a day (out of the sun) then pack in peat moss or sand (don't allow tubers to touch each other). Store in a dry dark place around 50 degrees. If storage area has very dry air, wrap with a plastic bag with holes for breathing. Plant the following spring when danger of frost is past.
