Louis Cottin Canna Lily

Dramatic color combo, the dwarf Louis Cottin Canna Lily (Canna x generalis 'Louis Cottin') is a fantastic smaller Canna with incredible peachy-orange flowers with red buds, red centers, and occasional red streaks and sepals, held above maroon-toned dark green leaves on upright maroon stems!

Louis Cottin Canna Lily flowers throughout the summer months and well into the fall, bringing the pollinators and curious hummingbirds to sip nectar and gather pollen! Growing a smaller 24-40 inches in height when in bloom, but only spread 18-24 inches wide in an upright clump.

Canna Lilies are fantastic summer-blooming exotic perennials with rhizomes that thrive all year in frost-free growing zones of 9 and up. But all growing zones can enjoy these plants as seasonal summer accents, or annuals. Keep them for next year by digging up and storing the bulbs as one would Dahlia and Elephant Ears for the winter!

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Keep these full-sun plants in moderately moist to almost wet enriched soil, that is always well-drained so they do not rot. It is also a good idea to ensure that Canna has a 3-4-inch layer of arborist mulch over the surface, especially in drier, hotter areas. Provide regular fertilizer and deadhead when blooming is done. Canna are spring-planted summer-flowering rhizomes and are not frost-hardy, so they do need to be dug in the fall before they freeze. Keep them in a cool, dark, frost-free area in a bag in a garage or shed.
