Canna ‘Cannova Mix’ – Compact Tropical Cannas with Vibrant Summer Flowers
Canna ‘Cannova Mix’ is a colourful collection of compact cannas, producing large tropical-style foliage and vibrant blooms in a range of bold shades throughout summer. Flower colours may include red, orange, yellow, pink, and cream, creating a lively and exotic display.
The broad green leaves form lush clumps that provide strong architectural structure even before flowering begins. Compared to taller traditional cannas, the Cannova series has a more compact and manageable habit, making it particularly suitable for containers, patios, and smaller borders.
Flower spikes rise above the foliage continuously through the warmer months, bringing long-lasting colour and attracting pollinators to the garden.
Thriving in full sun, Cannova cannas prefer moist, fertile, well-drained soil and perform best with regular watering and feeding during active growth. Their compact size and strong flowering make them ideal for adding tropical impact without overwhelming smaller spaces.
Perfect for exotic-style planting, patio displays, and bold seasonal colour, Cannova Mix delivers reliable performance and dramatic summer interest.
Bright, architectural, and easy to grow, this colourful canna mix is an excellent choice for creating a tropical atmosphere in the garden.
