Understanding Plant Options
Nature Hills offers plants in two main formats:
- Container Plants: Grown in pots with soil, sized by container volume and plant age
- Bare Root Plants: Dormant plants without soil, sized by height measurements
Container Plant Sizes
Container sizes indicate plant age and growing capacity rather than liquid volume equivalents. Our containers follow industry-standard nursery "trade gallon" specifications, which differ from standard liquid gallon measurements.

Important Notes

- Age Indicators: Container size primarily indicates plant age and maturity rather than liquid volume equivalents
Growing Conditions
- Plant size can vary based on variety and growing conditions
- Container size helps indicate plant maturity and establishment level
- Larger containers generally mean more established root systems and faster landscape establishment
Seasonal Availability
- Bare root plants are available seasonally when dormant
- Container plants are available throughout the growing season
- Specific varieties may have limited availability in certain sizes

Cannova® Red Golden Flame Canna brings the drama of tropical gardens to temperate landscapes with its striking bicolor blooms that combine deep red petals with golden yellow flames. This compact canna lily (Canna 'Red Golden Flame') from the Cannova series delivers all the bold color and lush foliage you expect from cannas in a perfectly proportioned 2-3 foot plant that fits beautifully in borders, containers, and smaller garden spaces.
Continuous Summer Color
The magic of Cannova Red Golden Flame lies in its non-stop blooming habit. Unlike older canna varieties that bloom in flushes, this modern hybrid produces flowers continuously from late spring through the first fall frost. Each bloom stalk carries multiple flowers that open in succession, and the plant constantly sends up new flowering stems. The fiery red and gold color combination is particularly effective in hot-color schemes with orange marigolds, golden rudbeckias, or deep purple salvias.
Compact Growth for Modern Gardens
Traditional cannas tower to 5-6 feet tall, which can overwhelm smaller gardens. Cannova Red Golden Flame stays neatly in the 2-3 foot range, making it ideal for container gardens, mixed borders, and foundation plantings where you want tropical impact without the overwhelming size. The compact habit also means the plants are less likely to flop or need staking, even in rainy or windy conditions. Pair with shorter annuals like sweet alyssum or trailing petunias in containers for a complete composition.
Easy Care Tropical Style
Cannas have a reputation as fussy tropicals, but Cannova Red Golden Flame is remarkably low maintenance once established. The thick rhizomes store water and nutrients, helping plants power through brief dry spells. Deer avoid the bitter foliage, and the rapid growth rate means any chewed leaves are quickly replaced. The biggest maintenance task is simply keeping up with deadheading to prolong the flower show.
Hummingbird and Butterfly Magnet
The tubular flowers of Cannova Red Golden Flame are perfectly shaped for hummingbird beaks, and these energetic pollinators visit throughout the day during peak bloom. Butterflies and large bees also frequent the nectar-rich blooms. Position plants near a patio or window where you can watch the constant pollinator activity from late spring through fall.
Overwintering and Cold Hardiness
In zones 9-11, Cannova Red Golden Flame acts as a true perennial with rhizomes surviving in the ground year-round. In zones 7-8, plants often return with heavy mulching, though a layer of leaves or straw over the crown after the first frost provides insurance. For guaranteed returns in zone 7, or if you're in zone 6, dig rhizomes after frost blackens foliage, dry them for a few days, and store in barely-moist peat moss in a cool (45-55°F) location until spring. Gardeners in zones colder than 7 can grow Cannova Red Golden Flame as a dramatic annual or lift and store rhizomes each fall.
Whether you're creating a tropical oasis, need a bold accent for mixed containers, or want to attract hummingbirds to your garden, Cannova Red Golden Flame delivers months of fiery color with minimal fuss. The compact size and continuous blooming habit make this one of the most garden-worthy cannas available.
