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":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":"illustris-elephant-ear","title":"Illustris Elephant's Ear","description":"\u003ch2 class=\"nhProductHeader\"\u003eGlamorous Accent Illustris Elephant's Ear\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul class=\"nhProductBullets\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGigantic, Heart-Shaped Leaves Add Tropical Look\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDark Purple-Black Foliage Decorated With Vivid Green Veins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDramatic Foliage Plant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStunning Downturned Leaves Three Feet Long\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncredible Backdrop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAllow to Play the Starring Role in a Focal Point Display\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoften the Edges of Ponds, or In Rain Gardens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerfect Annual in Seasonal Containers in Zones 3 - 7\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan Lift and Bring Corms Indoors to Overwinter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThrives in Moist, Boggy Soils\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrow in Full Sun or Partial Shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"nhProductCopy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWe're excited to offer one of the world's most incredible accent plants\u003c\/strong\u003e.

Ideally, this Hydrangea loves to have morning sun and then some partial shade from the hot afternoon sun. They will not flower well if they are grown in full shade, so they do need that morning sun to make the best bloom. An east side of a home or building, or a larger tree is ideal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProvide rich, well-drained soils for your Hydrangeas. If your soil stays wet after a rainfall, add additional soil in a mound 18 - 24 inches above the native soil. Plant directly in that mound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGive your plants a regular schedule of moderate water. Use a thick layer of mulch to cover the base of the plant to keep the root system moist.

Reduce any of the branch tips that may have been winter-damaged from the cold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs the older, thicker stems finish blooming in summer, you may want to remove those old stems out to the ground, leaving the younger stems to push forth the second flush of blooms. Removing the oldest stems after their yearly bloom will easily rejuvenate your plant over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn colder hardiness zones, there can be some winter damage. Established plants are best protected like you might a Rose bush by waiting for the plants to go dormant, and then piling up a mound of mulch over the top of the plant by a foot or so. In the late spring, pull the mulch away as the weather warms up. Then prune back any dead tops and it should grow nicely from the covered stems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike most Hydrangea bushes, soil acidity will affect the bloom color. The blooms start out white and they will fade to light pink in alkaline soil and light blue in acidic soil, so adjust your soil accordingly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mature size of the plants can vary somewhat based on the climate the soil type, and the amount of water available to the plant. They like areas with good air circulation and soil moisture, but not necessarily overhead irrigation. Use drip irrigation when you can to keep the soil moist, but not the foliage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnjoy your long relationship with the beautiful Endless Summer® Blushing Bride Hydrangea.

This Chicagoland Grows® introduction stays a manageable 10-12 feet tall and wide, a fraction of the species size, while showcasing the signature exfoliating bark that makes River Birch so prized.

Plant it in that low spot in your yard that stays soggy, near a rain garden, or along a water feature. It also handles heavy clay soil that frustrates many gardeners.

It's also deer resistant, making it valuable in areas with browsing pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\"\u003eNative with Modern Appeal\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eAs a native cultivar, Fox Valley supports local ecosystems while providing the refined appearance homeowners want.

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