There was a Giveaway over at Garden Rant and I won some Tropicannas from Tessalaar Plants! I’m not exactly sure what, but I think this new Tropicanna Gold is coming my way. Cannas are dramatic plants so I am very excited. I don’t think they will be in bloom in time for the Franklin Land Trust Farm and Garden Tour on June 25 and 26, but it will be a great treat for mid-summer.
They will not overwinter in my climate but I think these will make spectacular container plants, and it just so happens that I bought a couple of nice big containers on sale last fall. What do you think I should plant with them?
I’m starting to browse through my new copy of the Encyclopedia of Container Plants by Ray Rogers from Timber Press. Cannas have such magnificent foliage; do they need anything else?
Thank you Amy Stewart and Tesselaar!
Congratulations, Pat! You no canna go wrong with those (channelling my inner Scot for that lame pun!). Say Hi! for me to Monica and Cindy!
Whooo hoooo, this is a beauty you lucky lady.
Helen – Good pun! I’ll pass on hellos. I’ll be just in time for Garden Conservancy Open Garden Days in Houston.
Lisa – You know it!
