Canna cultivation report

Looking at these flowers blooming like fireworks on a midsummer night makes me feel like I’m rejuvenating my 5-year-old!?

Hello. I am Canna’s fairy, Anastasia. Canna is a summer flower native to tropical America. If planted in spring, it will produce large primary-colored flowers from June to October, especially under the scorching sun in midsummer. If you want to add a tropical touch to your garden this summer, I recommend Canna flowers without hesitation.
