Perhaps the most stunning Canna of all, Bloomsz Black Knight Canna is both bold and beautiful. Leaves of very deep red to almost black form the backdrop for shocking scarlet-red almost blood-red flowers. Stems are strong and upright. The large, paddle-like leaves grow from stems in long narrow rolls that slowly unfurl. Nectar attracts hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees. These exotic beauties are easy to grow and maintain.

Growing Instructions: After all danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed, select an area in full sun where the soil drains well but still retains moisture and does not get soggy. Planting Cannas in full sun produces the best foliage color and the number of blooms. Loosen the soil and place the rhizomes, horizontally with the eyes/growing points facing up, 4”-6” deep and 2’ apart for tall varieties, 1’ apart for medium and dwarf varieties. Water thoroughly after planting. Keep soil moist but not soggy thereafter and fertilize once per month during the growing season. Feel free to cut the flowers, which does not hurt the plant. Most people grow Cannas for their lush, colorful foliage. Do not cut or remove the foliage. The plant needs the nutrients from the foliage for the next year’s growth. Remove leaves once they have died off.
