Description
The first-ever top quality Canna from seed, South Pacific Scarlet is a marvel of a plant, with giant 4-inch blooms that begin early on compact, well-branched, very vigorous plants. Blooms in 100-120 days after sowing the seed. It stands up to frost better than older varieties too and it tolerates heat, rain, and damp soils beautifully. It's a tropical, so it remains evergreen in frost-free areas and will return each spring in zones 8-11 (it likes our zone 7b garden too, but if you live north of its hardiness zone, just put it in containers and bring it into the garage for winter). The large, handsome, deep green leaves are paddle-shaped and held almost straight up, creating a lovely look in any setting. Expect this Canna to reach 2 to 3 feet high in the garden, somewhat smaller in containers and in short-season climates. A single plant will send up about half a dozen flowering stems, each topped with a crown of 4-inch flowers that combine scarlet and orange tones with flames of gold and cream at the base. Like all Cannas, it needs full sunshine, plenty of heat, and consistently moist, even damp soil.
