Description
Canna 'Red Velvet' is a striking perennial known for its bold red flowers and lush foliage. It typically grows to a height of 100-150 cm with a spread of 50-70 cm, making it a vibrant choice for adding colour and structure to summer borders or containers.
As a deciduous plant, it dies back in colder months and benefits from a sheltered, sunny position with well-drained soil. It usually requires lifting and storing over winter in cooler parts of the UK, so is best suited to gardeners familiar with its seasonal care requirements.
