Bronze-tinted leaves unfurl to reveal broad, paddle-shaped foliage with a lustrous sheen that deepens to rich burgundy-bronze as the plant matures. By early summer, tubular scarlet flowers appear in upright clusters atop sturdy stems, creating a bold color combination that commands attention from across the yard. Unlike older canna varieties that can look tired by late summer, Cannova® Bronze Scarlet keeps pushing new blooms until frost, maintaining its tropical elegance through the entire growing season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\"\u003eLandscape Uses\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eAt 3-4 feet tall with a 2-3 foot spread, this canna fits perfectly in mid-border positions where it provides vertical interest without blocking smaller plants. The compact habit makes it ideal for containers, either as a solo thriller or combined with trailing sweet potato vine and upright salvias. Plant in groups of three or five for maximum impact in island beds, or use as a colorful backdrop for summer annuals. The bold foliage and bright flowers create an instant tropical look around pools, patios, and water features.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\"\u003eWildlife Value\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eHummingbirds zero in on the tubular scarlet flowers, visiting repeatedly throughout the day to sip nectar. Butterflies and larger bees also work the blooms, though hummingbirds are the primary pollinators. Deer and rabbits consistently avoid cannas, making them reliable choices for gardens where browsing pressure is an issue. The lack of fragrance doesn't deter pollinators, who are attracted by the vivid color and abundant nectar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\"\u003eWhy Cannova® Bronze Scarlet Works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThis is a plant that delivers high-impact color with surprisingly little fuss. Selected for disease resistance, heat tolerance, and the ability to bloom continuously without constant deadheading, Cannova® Bronze Scarlet stays compact and well-proportioned. The fast growth rate means you get quick results, filling containers and garden spaces by mid-summer. In zones 7-11, the rhizomes overwinter in the ground with a thick layer of mulch, returning year after year. In colder zones, treat it as an annual or dig and store the rhizomes indoors over winter. Either way, you get months of bold tropical color that stands up to heat, humidity, and drought better than most flowering plants.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nature Hills Nursery","offers":[{"title":"#1 Container","offer_id":43611754758197,"sku":"20469","price":54.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0623\/6356\/6133\/files\/canna-bronze-scarlet.jpg?v=1775618572"},{"product_id":"euphorbia-ascot-rainbow","title":"Ascot Rainbow Spurge","description":"\u003ch2 class=\"nhProductHeader\"\u003eColors Opposite Temperatures \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"nhProductCopy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEuphorbia Ascot Rainbow, Euphorbia martinii 'Ascot Rainbow' is a succulent which produces spikes of flowers (bracts) that are a blend of cream, lime and green that appear from late winter through spring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe foliage of Ascot Rainbow displays tones of cream and grey green in the spring and summer.

The bright yellow flowers emerge on sturdy stems above the foliage in clusters that hummingbirds can't resist.

Use it as a focal point in mixed container plantings paired with trailing sweet potato vine and purple fountain grass.

The compact habit also works beautifully in rain gardens or around water features where its love of moisture becomes an asset rather than a maintenance challenge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\"\u003eHeat and Humidity Champion\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eWhile many plants wilt in hot, humid summers, Cannova® Yellow thrives in exactly those conditions.

Massive paddle-shaped leaves unfurl throughout summer, each reaching 4-6 feet long and creating that unmistakable tropical silhouette. By midsummer, a single plant can tower 12-15 feet tall with a trunk-like pseudostem thick as your arm, transforming a corner of your garden into an exotic retreat. The foliage catches every breeze with a distinctive rustling sound, and the sheer scale commands attention from across the yard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\"\u003eYear-Round Interest\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eIn zones 8-10, Northern Wonder™ is evergreen and may even produce small, inedible fruit. In colder zones (5-7), treat it as an herbaceous perennial that dies back completely in winter. The magic happens in spring when new shoots emerge from the protected roots, growing at a rate that's genuinely astonishing. Expect 2-3 feet of vertical growth per month once soil temperatures warm, with each new leaf larger than the last.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe rapid growth rate makes this banana particularly valuable for seasonal screening or filling large spaces quickly.

While the foliage dies at the first frost, the underground rhizome survives temperatures to -10°F or lower with proper winter protection. After the first hard freeze, cut the pseudostem to ground level and mound 12-18 inches of mulch (shredded leaves, straw, or wood chips) over the crown. In spring, pull back the mulch once danger of hard frost passes and watch new shoots emerge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eFor zones 5-6, consider additional protection. Some gardeners wrap the cut stem with burlap filled with dry leaves, creating an insulated column over the crown. Others dig the rhizome and overwinter it in barely moist peat in a cool basement, replanting after last frost. Container growing is another option, allowing you to move the plant to an unheated garage or shed for winter dormancy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\"\u003eGarden Uses\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eNorthern Wonder™ excels as a standalone specimen where its dramatic form takes center stage.

The vertical accent contrasts strikingly with low, mounded plants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eConsider planting in clusters of three or five for serious impact, spacing plants 6-8 feet apart.

This breakthrough Cannova series delivers the exotic appeal of traditional cannas with a compact 2-3 foot height that works beautifully in containers, mixed borders, and smaller gardens. The show-stopping orange blooms feature a luminous blend of apricot, coral, and tangerine tones that shift subtly as flowers mature, creating a dynamic color display from early summer straight through to fall frost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\"\u003eContinuous Summer Color\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eUnlike older canna varieties that take breaks between bloom cycles, Cannova Orange Shades produces fresh flowers relentlessly throughout the growing season. Each sturdy stem pushes up multiple flower buds that open in succession, ensuring there's always color on display. The large, gladiolus-like blooms stand proudly above broad, tropical foliage that provides a lush green backdrop. This non-stop flowering habit makes it especially valuable for containers on patios and decks where you want guaranteed color all summer long.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\"\u003eLandscape Versatility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe compact habit opens up design possibilities that weren't practical with taller cannas. Plant Cannova Orange Shades at the front or middle of borders where you can actually see the flowers without them towering overhead. The warm orange tones pair beautifully with purple salvia, blue agapanthus, or golden rudbeckia in mixed plantings. In containers, it provides a bold thriller plant that won't overwhelm smaller companions. The tropical foliage adds instant resort-style atmosphere to pool areas, entryways, or anywhere you want to create an exotic escape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\"\u003eHeat and Humidity Lover\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eCannas thrive in the hot, humid conditions that stress many other flowering plants. Cannova Orange Shades actually performs better as temperatures climb, producing more flowers during peak summer heat when spring bloomers have long since faded. This makes it an invaluable plant for Southern gardens and anywhere with steamy summers. Hummingbirds visit the tubular flowers regularly, and butterflies appreciate the nectar source during the late-season bloom period when other flowers are scarce.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\"\u003eWinter Care by Zone\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eIn zones 9-11, Cannova Orange Shades grows as a true perennial that dies back in winter and returns each spring. Zone 8 gardeners can often overwinter rhizomes in the ground with heavy mulch protection. In zone 7 and colder areas, either grow it as an annual or dig the rhizomes after the first frost, let them dry for a few days, then store in barely moist peat moss in a cool basement until spring replanting time. The rhizomes are easy to divide every few years, giving you more plants to spread throughout your garden or share with neighbors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eIf you've been hesitant about cannas because of their size, Cannova Orange Shades changes the equation entirely.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\"\u003eContinuous Summer Color\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\"\u003eCompact Growth for Modern Gardens\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eTraditional 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\"\u003eEasy Care Tropical Style\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eCannas 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\"\u003eHummingbird and Butterfly Magnet\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\"\u003eOverwintering and Cold Hardiness\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eIn 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eWhether 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.
