Canna Indica ‘Angele Martin’ (1 bulb)

Canna Indica ‘Angele Martin’ grows stunning blooms of pale salmon that beautifully contrast with its deep crimson foliage.

This makes it ideal for filling out the middle or back of a summer border and as a featured container plant.

Best grown in pots, look for a warm, sunny and sheltered position with light sandy soil that is enriched with a little well rotted manure or bonemeal.

Keep Canna bulbs moderately dry until roots are formed and young sprouts are showing. Gradually increase watering as the plant develops and water freely during the flowering season. A light application of a complete fertiliser when the shoots first appear and weak liquid manure when the flower spikes appear is beneficial.

When the flowers fade and the stems show signs of decay, water should be gradually withheld to induce a thorough ripening for the next year. The pots should be stored in a dry place until the time for repotting comes.
