Canna 'Tenerife' is a wonderful Canna lily that is part of the Island series of Canna plants. Tenerife is a slender leaved variety with tall flower spikes. The flowers are very pretty, quite dainty, golden yellow speckled with a deep orange, red colour. A striking plant that would look beautiful with other lush, summer tropical plants. The Canna will flower from July to the first frosts.
Canna love the sun but will take a little shade throughout the day, they also love a rich, moisture retentive soil. Do not despair if you go on holiday, they also hold water very well and are amazingly drought tolerant. Give your canna a liquid feed every two weeks and they will love you forever! Treat like a Dahlia in so far as you can either lift and store the rhizomes dry over winter or if you are in a milder part of the country, you can leave in situ with a thick layer of mulch over the top or pop a plant pot over the crown for the winter.The just need to be kept frost free and on the dry side.
