| Cannas are an exciting and colourful landscape plant with dwarf,
medium and tall growing varieties available for sale |
They are a clump forming bush that are excellent used mass planted for a
showy flower display or used as individual specimens interplanted with other trees and
shrubs in your garden.
Greg, a local nurseryman, and his family have
 been growing bulbs and perennials in Monbulk
for over 25 years and have collected and grown the most beautiful collection of Cannas
over the last 12 years including varieties with brilliant pink and blazing red flowers.
Greg and his team grow and harvest Cannas
from the fields each winter
A machine is used to slash the leafy growth off the Cannas leaving only
10-12" of growth behind, the plants are then undercut with a machine which
 makes
it easy to lift them from the field. Greg and his team, using a fork, hand dug each Canna
plant from the ground.
The Cannas are then divided into divisions and have their tops and roots trimmed,
they are then washed producing a nice healthy division to be planted or potted into the
garden. The washing process consists of placing the cannas onto conveyor belt machine, brushes and water
run over the Cannas producing clean divisions. The excess water is run through a silt trap
to ensure that the recycled water is clean.
The Canna divisions are then bundled and packed ready for dispatch.
 Planting
Plant your Canna divisions in your garden or large pots burying the roots and most of the
stalk into the soil, the top of the stalk should just poke out of the ground.
Care
Cannas require a sunny position in the garden, they can become stunted if planted in
shade. Cannas like regular watering and feeding with a general purpose fertiliser such as
Devotion™ Time Release Fertiliser and a few handfuls of chook poo every couple of
months.
Growth Rate
Cannas are quite fast growing and can reach their full height in just one growing season.
Use In The Landscape
Cannas are an upright clump forming plant that will add spectacular colour to your garden.
They are ideal used in tropical style gardens, mass planted for dramatic flower colour and
are great used interplanted with other trees and shrubs. Cannas are a very hardy plant and
can withstand wetter areas and periods of dryness. |
