Canna Bird of Paradise

Bluish green/tinged red, lanceolate foliage needing a sheltered spot.

 So named as the foliage resembles that of Strelitzia reginae which is the bird of paradise plant. The long slender leaves  up to 90cm long are easily damaged in a windy location hence needs a sheltered spot. Growth type tall. The flowers are quite small and pink. Height 2m+.

 Plants to follow in low numbers from time to time in spring. Currently sold as a young early season bare root plant when available. Rhizomes sold in January have ended. Needs potting and growing on in a warm and light position.
