Canna indica var. sanctae-rosae (Sancta-rosae Canna)

170 (220)cm, Canna indica var. sanctae-rosae is now regarded a synonym of the extremely variable Canna indica var. indica. It slightly differs by having a more rosy-red outside of the otherwise crimson red flowers. As the species it makes elegant broad, yellowish green, banana-like leaves and it is very floriferous throughout summer. For any rich, humus rich soil in a sunny spot in summer. In winter keep rhizomes rather dry in a cool spot at some 5°C to 10°C. Replant in spring after the last strong freezes are over. VII-IX.
