Unpack bare roots or rhizomes on arrival and plant them within a week. Until then, keep them somewhere cool and ensure the roots remain slightly moist, never wet.

Canna
'Wyoming'
Introduce a bit of jungle paradise into your garden with magnificent Canna 'Wyoming'. Fast growing, tall and mighty, the stems reach an impressive height of up to 2.5m with jaw-dropping, large, dark burgundy-tinged leaves. But the fascination of this plant doesn’t stop there – throughout late summer and into autumn, this fabulous variety produces large, zesty orange blooms which provide that punchy twist of colour.
Whilst Canna 'Wyoming' is impressively tall, it’s also slimline so you can pack it in to your planting schemes for a high-impact display, whether your garden is large or small – slot them into a border or corner bed for a powerful, exotic vision! The fabulous foliage creates a really spectacular display which lasts throughout summer. Try combining cannas like this with bright-coloured dahlias for a dazzling, colourful and lush look.
Gracy tells: Look at the leaves!
"Canna leaves are bold and famous for their tropical look. Most Canna Lily cultivars have rich emerald-green leaves, but some (like Canna 'Wyoming') have red to bronze leaves!"

Plant calendar
Remove the packaging straight away, check the compost and water thoroughly if dry. Check the plant’s hardiness before placing it outdoors. Plant into a border or permanent container within a month, choosing the position recommended for the variety. Keep the top of the root ball level with the surrounding soil, firm gently and water well.
Soak the roots in water for three to six hours immediately before planting. Keep any crown, buds or emerging shoots above the water where possible.
Pot most bare roots into 15–20cm pots filled with peat-free multipurpose compost. Large or depth-sensitive roots, including peonies, are often best planted directly into borders.
Arrange the roots naturally without bending them. Cover the roots completely, positioning the crown and buds at the depth recommended for that particular perennial.
Keep pots in a sheltered outdoor position and water whenever the compost begins to dry. Grow on until roots hold the compost together when lifted from the pot.
Plant into a suitable border or permanent container once well rooted. Add a label and water regularly throughout the first growing season while the perennial establishes.
