Canna 'Green Pink Beauty' (1 rhizome)
It produces abundant blooms that bring softness, elegance, and tropical beauty to the garden. Its lush foliage remains attractive all summer.
Green Pink Beauty Canna Lily (Canna × generalis ‘Pink Beauty’) is a rhizomatous perennial distinguished by its broad, fresh green foliage, which forms a lush and well-structured tropical silhouette. From July to September, soft to deep pink flowers rise in elegant spikes above the leaves, bringing light, refinement, and gentle colour to summer landscapes. Reaching approximately 120 cm (47 in) in height, the plant creates a generous presence while maintaining a graceful appearance. Its foliage remains highly decorative throughout summer. 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 40 to 50 cm (16 to 20 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. Before the first frost, lift the rhizomes and store them in a cool, dry place.
‘Green Pink Beauty’ canna lily is ideal for tropical flower beds, borders, patios, large containers, and exotic garden displays. For container growing, choose a pot at least 45 cm (18 in) in diameter with excellent drainage. Its lush green foliage and pink flowers pair beautifully with caladiums, alocasias, coleus, begonias, and ornamental grasses to create colourful, refined plantings. The blooms attract a variety of pollinators and may also be used in summer floral arrangements. However, they are grown exclusively for ornamental purposes and are not intended for consumption.
