Canna Pink | 3 Litre Aquatic Pot

Add an tropical feel to the pond margin. Position: full sun or partial shade Soil: deep, permanently moist, humus-rich soil Depth of water: 0-5cm Rate of growth: average to fast-growing Flowering period: June to August Hardiness: frost hardy (may need protection in winter) Add a tropical feel to your pond margins or bog garden with this showy perennial. Its large, paddle-like leaves put on an impressive display, but its when the large, gently ruffled flowers start to appear that it really earns its keep! Garden care: These plants are potted up (using a suitable aquatic compost) into 3 litre aquatic pots. These pots are made of a fine mesh, which allows water to circulate through the compost, providing the plants with both oxygen and nutrients. If you are using them as a aquatic plant, they can be placed straight into the pond margins. Cut the foliage back to ground level as soon as it is blackened by a hard frost, and apply a generous layer of mulch around the base. In colder regions, the clumps are best lifted over the winter, and stored in a frost free greenhouse or shed. To enhance flowering divide congested clumps every three to five years.
