Key Features for Malta:

Proven Performance: Cannas are exceptionally well-suited to the Maltese heat. They are vigorous growers that can withstand the intense summer sun better than most flowering plants.

Bloom Time: A very long flowering season from July until the first cold snaps of November.

Height: This specific mix is slightly more compact than the dark-leaved variety, reaching 60–80 cm. This makes them sturdier in wind and excellent for medium-sized pots.

Versatility: They love water, making them perfect for planting near garden taps or irrigation overflows, but they are also quite resilient once established.

Expert Planting Tips for our Customers:

Sunlight: For the most prolific flowering, plant in Full Sun. They can grow in partial shade, but you will get more leaves and fewer flowers.

Planting Time: In Malta, you can plant these as early as March to get a head start on the growing season.

Spacing: Space rhizomes about 30 cm apart. They will spread over time to create a dense, colorful hedge.

Deadheading: To keep the plant looking tidy and encourage new flower spikes, cut off the old flower stalks once they have faded.

Position: Full Sun (Highly Recommended).

Hardiness: Perennial in Malta (No need to lift the bulbs in winter).

Soil: Prefers rich, moist soil; thrives with regular composting.
