This selection (Canna 'Cannova Bronze Scarlet') was bred specifically for compact growth and nonstop flowering from early summer until frost, making it a powerhouse performer in containers, mixed borders, and mass plantings.\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]\"\u003eThe color show starts the moment new shoots emerge in spring. 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":35.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0623\/6356\/6133\/files\/canna-bronze-scarlet.jpg?v=1775618572"},{"product_id":"st-johnswort-gemo","title":"Gemo St. Johns Wort","description":"\u003ch2 class=\"nhProductHeader\"\u003eFantastic Flowers Gemo St. John's Wort Yellow\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul class=\"nhProductBullets\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmall, Bright Yellow Flowers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProfuse Bloomer All Summer and Well Into Fall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlooms All Summer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRefined Foliage Resembles Willow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStays Compact\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeautifully Bushy Low Hedges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFun Cut Flowers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMounding, Flowering Groundcover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWidely Adaptable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrows in Full Sun or Partial Shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan Be Grown in Containers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoad Salt-Tolerant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"nhProductCopy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLooking for a cheerful plant to use throughout your garden?

If your soil is rocky, poor, rely on this scented plant throughout your sunny spots. No need to amend the soil, as they are quite rugged and durable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut, if your soil retains water for a long time after a rainfall...plant them in raised beds or in containers. You'll still love the look, and elevating their roots will help increase the drainage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse single plants as mounded specimens in a rock garden. The gray-green foliage looks fantastic, softening up the south side of large boulders. In the warmest climates, the foliage remains evergreen for year-round interest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCreate a marvelously memorable path or front walkway by running a low hedge of multiple plants along the edge of a high-traffic area. \u003cstrong\u003eYou and your guests will savor the fragrance as you brush against these plants\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInclude these herbaceous perennials in your Backyard Orchard, or Victory Garden.

To achieve the classic look, you'll want to do two things.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst, allow your plants to develop into their full, mounded form and receive enough air circulation. Second, have the fragrant foliage just brush against its neighbor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlant them 18 inches apart on center, measuring from the center of one to the center of the next. Mulch between the plants with wood chips, or use landscape gravel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdd additional rows staggered off-center from each other for a mass planting. If you'll harvest the flowers for a home business, create long, orderly rows like the professionals do.

If the plants need more pruning for shape or size control, it can be done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. For the most attractive result, please stagger the depth of your pruning cuts, and do not use electric trimmers.
