Green Lucifer Dwarf Canna Lily (Canna × generalis ‘Lucifer Dwarf’) is a compact rhizomatous perennial that brings a bold tropical look to smaller spaces. Its bright green foliage forms a dense, well-structured clump approximately 60 cm (24 in) tall, topped with clusters of brilliant red flowers. Blooming from July to September, the vivid flowers stand out above the broad leaves and keep garden displays colourful until the first frost. Its compact size provides the dramatic effect of a canna lily without overwhelming the landscape. Hardy only to Zone 10, it must be protected from frost in Quebec.

Plant the rhizomes in spring after all danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed thoroughly. Position them horizontally, approximately 10 cm (4 in) deep, and space them 30 to 40 cm (12 to 16 in) apart. Choose a location in full sun with rich, fertile, organic, evenly moist, and well-drained soil. Water generously throughout active growth to maintain consistent moisture without allowing standing water. Regular applications of compost and a balanced fertilizer every two weeks encourage vigorous growth and abundant flowering. Lift the rhizomes before the first frost and store them in a cool, dry place until spring.

‘Green Lucifer Dwarf’ canna lily is especially well suited to borders, small flower beds, patios, and large containers. For container growing, choose a pot at least 35 cm (14 in) in diameter with excellent drainage. Its bright green foliage and vivid red flowers pair beautifully with caladiums, begonias, coleus, alocasias, and ornamental grasses to create colourful tropical displays. The blooms attract a variety of pollinators and may also be used in summer bouquets. However, they are grown exclusively for ornamental purposes and are not intended for consumption.

Planting guide

Plant well.Grow beautifully.

Planting depth

10 cm (4 in)

Best planting time

Spring

Propagation

Propagate by dividing the rhizomes in spring once they have several growing buds. This ensures plants remain true to the variety.

Growing method

Plant the rhizomes in spring after all danger of frost has passed, approximately 10 cm (4 in) deep in rich, fertile, well-drained soil. Position the rhizome horizontally before covering it with soil. Space plants 30 to 40 cm (12 to 16 in) apart. Choose a location in full sun. Water thoroughly after planting, then keep the soil consistently moist throughout the growing season. Lift the rhizomes before the first frost and store them in a dry place until spring.

Soil and care

The right care,at the right time.

Soil pH

Neutral to slightly acidic

Minimum temperature

5°C (41°F)

Care level

Easy

Watering

Water generously throughout the growing season to keep the soil consistently moist without allowing standing water.

Soil type

Rich in organic matter, fertile, evenly moist, and perfectly drained soil.

Fertilization

Apply a balanced fertilizer every two weeks during the growing season. Regular applications of compost also improve plant vigour and flowering.

Seasonal care

Remove spent flowers regularly to extend blooming. Keep the soil consistently moist throughout the growing season. Feed every two weeks. Lift the rhizomes before the first frost and store them in a cool, dry place.

Container growing

A garden,within reach.

Recommended pot size

35 cm (14 in)
Container gardening requires you to plan for the root volume and the plant's final height. Choose a stable pot with drainage holes and a substrate suitable for planting. Leave enough space to respect the recommended depth and spacing rather than crowding plants to fill the pot immediately. Place the container in the indicated exposure and regularly check the moisture, especially in hot or windy weather. A pot is more exposed to temperature variations than a plant in the ground. Therefore, plan for a wintering location compatible with the plant's needs and your region's climate from the outset. Plant canna rhizomes in spring in warmed soil, after the last frosts. Choose a sunny location sheltered from winds that could tear the large leaves. Prepare fertile soil that is loose enough for the roots to develop around the rhizome, then place the buds facing upwards. Water after planting and monitor moisture during establishment. Once the leaves have developed, watering should follow growth and weather conditions. For container planting, choose a volume suitable for the mature plant and keep the drainage holes clear, without letting the roots dry out completely between waterings. In winter, protect the container according to the plant's needs: its roots are more exposed to cold than when planted in the ground.
