How to care for Canna × generalis Cannova Bronze Scarlet ('Fcaa35') (Cannova Series):
Avoid planting out young plants until all risk of frost has passed. Water regularly during the growing season, applying a phosphorus-rich liquid fertiliser each month. In frost-prone areas lift the rhizomes in autumn and store in a frost-free environment in barely-moist compost or leaf mould.
Please note:
The leaves of this house plant will die back each year as the temperatures drop, but fresh new growth will appear again in warmer conditions.
