Description

Canna Shining Pink is a strong choice for customers who want a softer tropical palette while still getting the full canna effect of bold leaves and long summer flowering. It works well in contemporary planting, courtyard gardens and large patio pots where colour needs to stay fresh from mid summer into early autumn.

Cannas contribute structure and presence. The broad leaves create a dense screen and help make mixed borders look finished, while the flowers add a repeated highlight above the foliage. Shining Pink pairs well with white and purple planting partners such as salvias, ornamental grasses, dahlias and airy annuals, giving a layered look that suits Irish gardens and commercial planters alike.

Plant after the last frosts in full sun. Use fertile soil improved with compost and keep moisture consistent during growth. Cannas respond well to regular feeding in summer, especially in containers. As autumn arrives, lift rhizomes before cold wet weather sets in, dry lightly and store frost free for replanting next year.
