Red King Humbert Canna Lily

Towering royal red blooms, the Red King Humbert Canna Lily (Canna x generalis 'Red King Humbert') are massive ornamentals with reddish stems and gorgeous green foliage that transforms into bronze-maroon through the summer! The combination of colors is an exotic touch to your landscape!

Red King Humbert Canna Lily are born on 6-foot tall flowering stems, and have a long summer-to-fall bloom time that brings weeks of enjoyment to your sunny beds and borders and sun-drenched patio containers. Not to mention swarms of bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds that will stop by for a visit.

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!

Planting and Application:

Red King Humbert Canna Lily is a fantastic sunny color for the front garden beds and foundation border, or even at the end of your driveway! Sure to make sure no one will miss the turn into your house again!

These space-saving accents even look great for pathway and garden edging, or raised higher in berms around your poolside plantings and seating areas! Go big by planting these giant red Cannas en masse in drifts for a bright pop of juicy color all growing season long!

Pot up Red King Humbert in porch pots and patio planters as the thriller, surrounded by spillers or low fillers for a focal point. Or you can add them as the filler and accent to other exotic foliage and flowering plants in mixed planters on sunny porches, patios, or balconies!

#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.
