Lush, upright, paddle-shaped green leaves make a strong architectural backdrop for a long summer show of large, rose-pink flowers that keep coming from midsummer right through into autumn. It is one of the easiest ways to add real exotic colour and a sun-soaked, tropical feel to a UK garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCanna is a tender rhizome, rated RHS H3, so a little winter care makes all the difference. Over winter, chill and wet together are what to fear: rhizomes left in cold, waterlogged ground will rot away long before a dry frost could touch them. Keep them from stewing in cold, sodden soil by either lifting and storing them dry once frost blackens the foliage, or by mulching very deeply over sharp, free-draining ground. In milder, coastal and sheltered gardens it can often stay in the soil year on year with this protection.
