About Canna Black Knight

The Black Knight Canna (Indica Hybrid) earns its name for its striking features: large, showy, deep reddish-black, banana-shaped leaves that complement its vibrant, velvety-red blooms. This variety of Canna is truly unique, with giant iris-like flowers that quickly become the focal point of your summer garden, adding an exotic touch and tropical vibe.

Canna Lilies, known for their fast growth, are among the easiest summer plants to grow. They bloom from the hottest weeks of summer until the first frost, attracting hummingbirds and other pollinators. They thrive in various settings, from large containers to garden beds and borders, effortlessly enhancing any space they occupy.

How to Grow Canna Lilies

Planting Canna Lilies

  • Plant in spring after the last frost.
  • If you cannot plant your bulbs and perennials right away, store them in a cool, dry, dark location, like a basement.
  • Plant in the garden when soil temperature reaches 16 °C (60 °F) or more.
  • Plant rhizome flat in a sunny to semi-shaded area about 10 cm (4 in) deep and 50 to 60 cm (20 to 24 in) apart.
  • Water thoroughly after planting.
  • Soil should be rich and contain organic material such as chopped leaves.

Growing Canna Lilies

  • These bulbs are great for borders.
  • Plant in groups which then appear more natural.
  • Cannas are heavy feeders because of their rapid growth so a timed-release fertilizer works well.
  • Do not plant too close to the house to allow for proper growth.

Canna Lilies Care

  • Keep the plants moist but not soggy and feed regularly.
  • Remove faded flowers promptly for continuous blooming.

Winterizing Canna Lilies

  • Hardy in zones 7 to 10, elsewhere lift or protectover winter.
  • After first fall frost has blackened the foliage,or the foliage begins to wither, cut stems backto 10 to 15 cm (4 to 6 in). Lift the bulbs: gentlydig up bulb and allow to dry off.
  • Store in slightly moistened vermiculite or peatmoss in a cool 5 °C to 10 °C (40 °F to 50 °F) location.
