Canna Cannova ‘Bronze Scarlet’
This selection won the FleuroStar European Award 2014/2015. The judges highlighted the superb contrast between Cannova® Bronze Scarlet’s scarlet-red flowers and bronze foliage. In their opinion, this canna is second to none in attracting consumers to a point of sale. Hybridizer Diony de Bont said after the award ceremony that consumers rely on tropical plants like cannas at weekends to recreate the charm of a Mediterranean garden in their backyards.
These plants evoke the warmth and light of these gardens. The height of this canna can vary from 80 to 100 cm.
Description
Cannas from the CannaSol™ serie
This series was introduced to Europe in 2013 and has enjoyed great popularity ever since. The development of the cannas in this series, grown from seed, required more than ten years of hybridization work in the Netherlands by Takii Europe B.V. As these cannas were developed in cool regions, they are much more tolerant of cooler summers. After careful selection in trial gardens, shades of red, pink and yellow are now available on the horticultural markets. The cultivars are vigorous and well-branched, which translates into sumptuous flowering. They bloom 10 days earlier than other cannas grown from seed. Plants reach heights of 75 to 120 cm (30 to 48 in.). These cannas have what it takes to become stars in gardens the world over.
