Canna Lilies

Canna Lilies add bold height and texture in flower beds and are a perfect centrepiece in large containers. They are also an excellent choice for ponds and other water gardens. As well as being very versatile, Canna Lilies come in various heights and colours, and they are classed as a deer resistant plant. All of our Canna Lilies can be found on table B1.

Some smaller varieties we grow from seed, include a star performer from the 2014 season: 'South Pacific Scarlet' and the Cannova series, including Cannova Bronze Scarlet and Cannova Bronze Orange, which are available in 4.5" square pots for $4.99.

This new series was developed in the Netherlands, with the aim of producing varieties that could be used not only in subtropical and tropical climates where cannas originally evolved, but also in cooler summer climates. The Cannovas offer large green or bronze leaves, striking arrow-like buds and stunning flower displays in yellow, red, orange and rose shades throughout the summer and into the fall.

Canna Lily 'Pretoria'
Canna Lily 'African Sunset'

Some larger growing varieties available in 4.5" square pots for $7.99 are Pretoria- a striking, multicoloured striped leaf, orange flowering variety, Red King Humbert- a true red flowering giant. African Sunset has stunning, dark maroon leaves with stripes ranging from shades of yellow through to pink, and large orange flowers. Canna Australia boasts beautiful crimson red flowers and shiny dark black-brown foliage.

New this season, from a local producer, we have Black Knight Canna Lilies! Healthy, big and beautiful plants already have deep red-black, glossy foliage and will grow 48-60" tall with bold blood red spikes of flowers. These are available in 2 gallon grow bags for $16.99 each.

Parking Reminder
Reminder! You can park diagonally alongside our side gate, just around the corner of our main entrance, and walk through our regular parking lot.

Just a friendly reminder to everyone that it is illegal to obstruct the bike lane and you can be towed.

The busy rush caused by 'Gardening Fever' only happens for a short time each year, so please be patient trying to park and remember to stay off the bike lane!

Remember we are open Friday until 7pm. During those later hours, parking is no problem and you have the greenhouse almost to yourself.


Thank-you!
12" Mixed Sun Hanging Baskets

For those of you who missed the release date last weekend, there is still a good
selection of our 12" mixed sunhanging baskets available.

Note
Hanging Basket Shopping Reminder:
Please do not re-hang Hanging Baskets!

To all our valued customers:
When you are in our store shopping for that coveted hanging basket, please do not hang the baskets back up if you change your mind during the selection process. Simply leave the basket(s) on an empty table space and one of our staff will gladly hang the basket up for another day.

This allows us to ensure the basket is firmly hooked on the pipe so we do not have any "jumpers", as well as allows us to make sure the dripper is placed in the basket so that we do not have any baskets go without irrigation.

Thank-you for your co-operation!
