Plant Features

Toucan® Scarlet Canna Lily Plants feature bright scarlet blooms that sit atop purplish foliage. Toucan are fast growing, heat resistant, disease resistant cannas that bring a bold look to containers and landscapes.

Planting Instructions:

  • - Plant in late spring or early summer after the last frost date

Soil Preparation:

  • - Ideal soil pH: 6.0-7.5

Watering Specifics:

  • - Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist, especially during hot weather
  • - For container-grown Canna Lilies, water more frequently as containers dry out faster

Fertilizer Type:

  • - Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer at planting time
  • - Supplement with a high-phosphorus, water-soluble fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season
  • - Reduce feeding in late summer as the plant prepares for dormancy

Pruning and Training:

  • - Remove spent blooms regularly to encourage continuous flowering
  • - Cut back the plant after the first frost if grown as an annual, or dig up rhizomes for overwintering in colder climates

Additional Pest Management:

  • - Watch for common pests like aphids, slugs, and Japanese beetles

Blooming Indicators:

  • - Blooms continuously from mid-summer through fall, adding bold color to the garden

Light Requirements:

  • - Can tolerate light shade, but flower production may decrease

Temperature Tolerance:

  • - Heat-tolerant and performs well in hot, humid conditions

Companion Plants for Canna Lily:

  • - Coleus: Their vibrant foliage contrasts beautifully with the bold flowers of Canna Lilies
  • - Zinnias: The bright, cheerful flowers of Zinnias complement the tropical look of Canna Lilies
  • - Salvia: Their spiky blooms add vertical interest and attract pollinators, enhancing the tropical feel
  • - Verbena: The trailing habit and clusters of small flowers of Verbena create a striking contrast with the large, upright Canna Lilies

Toucan Scarlet Canna

This beautiful dark foliage plant arrived with 3 stalls and 3 active bloom spikes. My sister was so enthusiastic she grabbed our tool box and had the canna potted before I could join her.
