Red King Humbert Canna
2010-These are hearty producers, I have outstanding rhizomes available. Please call if your interested in owning a few.
-------------------
This is my First Attempt, and their growth and development is shown below. They have been dug and are overwintering in the storage shed. Looking forward to next year, we are moving their Location next season! This will be interesting! The dug clumbs are HUGE! figure I will almost triple my original set!
'Red King Humbert' - awesome, deep burgundy and green leaves vary from almost chocolate to deep green with deep red veins and edges; numerous, handsome, semi-self-cleaning orange/red flowers; 6-10ft.
General Info:
Cannas are an easy to grow, low maintenance flower that produces a beautiful show of color all summer. Cannas are planted in the spring AFTER danger from frost. Cannas love full sun and require a minimum of four hours direct sunlight.(these were planted on an 'east'(shade) wall this year and did very well.)
The rhizomes were planted about 12 inches apart and only about 2inches below the soil. Cannas Require LOTS of water and should be watered thoroughly several times a week by slowly soaking the area. Rose or tomato fertilizers are good.
Its NOT necessary to dead head (I collected the seed pods-gonna try) to induce new blooms.
With the varities of Cannas now available, they grow to heights of 3ft(dwarf), 4ft(medium) and 6-10 ft(tall), and have long banana-like leaves along the stem. Foliage color varies from several hues of green to a reddish-purple and bronze,depending on the cultivar.
