Plant Features

Canna Lily generalis 'Pretoria' is a visual delight, boasting vibrant variegated yellow and green striped leaves. The purplish-red stems emerge from this striking foliage, culminating in large, frilled orange bi-colored blossoms. This tall, swift-growing perennial is not only recognized for its unique striped appearance but also for its ease of cultivation. Blooming in late summer, Pretoria promises a dazzling display with its radiant orange flowers framed by its distinctively patterned leaves.

Plant Care: Plant bulbs after the last expected frost. For in-ground plants, water every two days; container plants need daily watering. Prune spent flower stalks to their attachment point and trim non-flowering stalks to soil level. In freezing areas, after the first frost, cut stalks to the ground and store the roots for winter.

Canna Lily Companion Plants: Begonia, Calibrachoa, Coleus, Dahlias, Geraniums, Lobelia, Petunias, Sweet Alyssum, Torenia, Verbena, Zinnias
