Description
Calling all canna connoisseurs! This rare and unusual Canna 'Fantasy' will have you champing at the bit when the flower buds appear in mid-late summer, ready to reveal their incredible show of speckled peach and pink orchid-like blooms. It’s all about the flowers with this curious canna, although it does have that signature foliage appeal too! Providing a long season of interest, this stocky dwarf variety will produce a compact pillar of lush green leaves which bring a lovely exotic look to planting schemes from early summer right through to autumn, joined by a fantasia of beautiful flowers from August onwards.
Neat and compact, 'Fantasy' is perfect for tucking into a sunny border or filling large patio containers.

Other information
-
Soak the Canna 'Fantasy' roots in water for 3-6 hours prior to planting
Plant your bare roots into temporary pots with a multipurpose compost in spring and grow-on in a sheltered spot outdoors
Choose a pot which comfortably fits the bare roots. Some have a noticeable crown which should be just below the soil surface with any top growth exposed. Some varieties are a length of root which should be planted lengthways and shallowly (1-2cm deep).
Plant out into borders or permanent containers in late spring or early summer once in full growth. Choose a position in sun or shade depending on the variety.
