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. You get all the tropical drama and non-stop color without the need for staking or managing plants that reach six feet tall.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nature Hills Nursery","offers":[{"title":"#1 Container","offer_id":61540856922482,"sku":"21566","price":28.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0623\/6356\/6133\/files\/cannova-orange-shades-canna-lily-canna-perennial-bloom-3.jpg?v=1779309792","url":"https:\/\/naturehills.com\/products\/cannova-r-orange-shades-canna-lily","provider":"Nature Hills Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
