Canna 'Cleopatra'
Sold Out for 2008
Cleopatra is always entertaining. Each flower comes out slightly different. The flowers are bright yellow with red spots. Some of the flowers will have random red streaks. Occasionally a flower will turn out all red. The foliage is green with occasional dark streaks. Medium canna, 4-5 ft. tall.
Heirloom canna, 1895.
Bloom time: July-September; zone 10 - nearly year round.
Bulb size: 3-5 eye rhizomes.
Plant Your Rhizomes:
Select a sunny location. Prepare the soil with deep digging and plenty of organic matter. Plant when danger of freezing has past. Rhizomes should lay horizontally. Plant 2-3 inches deep and 18-24 inches apart. Soil should be damp, but not wet until growth appears. Be patient. You may also grow your cannas in large pots.
Canna Care:
Full sun. Increase water as growth appears. Mulch well with organic matter. Cannas are heavy feeders. I like to use a time release fertilizer.
