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.

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?

Its coloring will stay evenly green all summer long, and the bush as a whole will have a dense-packed irregular growth habit. As the spring progresses, bright white flowers will bloom all across the plant. Not just any ordinary petaled blooms though. No, these blossoms look like shiny, unearthly orbs!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese flowers are made up of tightly packed spherical clusters with what looks like needles sticking out of all sides. Don't worry though, unlike the pincushions they resemble, these blooms aren't pokey in the slightest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.naturehills.com\/blog\/post\/navitar-vs-native\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eNative\u003c\/a\u003e Buttonbushes are fascinating to look at, they are more often added to gardens and landscapes as a way to attract birds and pollinators.

Whether you're adding to an already existing perennial garden, or looking at a brand new backyard that needs work, Buttonbush is a plant you'll want to keep in mind! If your backyard ends in either a pond or lake, try planting a Buttonbush along its edges to create a fantastic border. It'll thrive in the damp soil and you and your guests won't find yourselves accidentally wandering into a stray puddle.

Or plant them on the sunny side of taller Yew and Holly shrubs. That evergreen backdrop really sets the stage for the large blooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike other Hydrangea, Blushing Bride is outstanding in your \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.naturehills.com\/blog\/post\/cutting-and-drying-hydrangea-flowers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003ecutting garden\u003c\/a\u003e and incorporated into your perennial border.

Or, plan a monochromatic, repeating planting pattern, alternating Blushing Bride and White Knock Out® Roses. Add interest and fragrance with Spice Baby® Koreanspice Viburnum or Marianni® Daphne. Mix up your bigleaf Hydrangea collection with the colorful Summer Crush Hydrangeas and other Endless Summer white Hydrangea shrubs!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpace them 2-2 ½ feet apart for a \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.naturehills.com\/blog\/post\/best-natural-informal-flowering-hedges\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003etight, low hedge\u003c\/a\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. Please pull mulch back away from the stems a few inches to give better air circulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.naturehills.com\/blog\/post\/how-to-prune-hydrangeas\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eEarly spring pruning\u003c\/a\u003e is best done when you can see the start of new growth on these deciduous shrubs. Trim back the flower heads on old stems down to where new sprouts are starting. 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.
