Canna Tropicanna Gold

The Canna Tropicanna Gold is a striking exotic perennial prized for its bold, dramatically striped foliage and vivid golden-yellow summer flowers. With its tall, architectural habit and lush tropical tones, this is one of the finest canna varieties for creating an eye-catching tropical planting scheme in borders, beds or containers.

Producing large, lance-shaped leaves with striking green and gold variegation, the foliage alone makes a bold statement long before the vibrant yellow blooms appear. As a sun-loving, hardy perennial, it thrives in full sun to partial shade in moist, well-drained soil, making it an easy and rewarding addition to any garden.

Ideal as a statement plant at the back of a border or as an architectural focal point in exotic garden displays, Canna Tropicanna Gold also excels in large containers on a sunny patio or terrace. It pairs beautifully with other herbaceous perennials and tropical foliage plants for a lush, layered effect.

Planting and Care

Plant outdoors once the risk of frost has passed, typically from late May to June. Water regularly throughout summer and feed fortnightly to encourage the best flowering display. In autumn, lift the rhizomes in colder regions and store in a frost-free place, or mulch heavily around the base to help with overwintering.
