Botanical nameCanna × generalis ‘Pink Beauty’
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.

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 40 to 50 cm (16 to 20 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.

Recommended pot size
45 cm (18 in)
Container gardening requires anticipating the necessary volume for the roots and the plant's final height. Choose a stable pot with drainage holes and a suitable planting medium. Leave enough space to respect the recommended depth and spacing, rather than cramming plants to immediately fill the pot. Place the container in the indicated exposure and regularly check the moisture level, especially in hot or windy weather. A pot is more exposed to temperature variations than in-ground planting. 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 frost. Choose a sunny, sheltered location away from winds that could tear the large leaves. Prepare fertile soil that is loose enough for 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 suited to the mature plant and keep 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.
