This canna blooms in August and September and stands out with its intense, fiery red flowers and strong summer presence. From the rhizome grow one or more sturdy, reed-like flower stems that rise above the foliage and reach a height of around 120 centimetres. The name ‘Canna’ comes from the Latin word for ‘reed’, making this plant suitable as a cut flower.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the top of the flower stems, several flower buds develop with red flowers that open one after another. After flowering, round seed pods may form, which are also decorative. The rhizomes multiply well underground each year, often resulting in a fuller clump after just one season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow, where and when should I plant canna rhizomes?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStarting indoors\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCanna\u003c\/em\u003e 'Red Dazzler' is not winter hardy, so the rhizomes can be started indoors from March. This gives the plant a head start, allowing the cannas to flower earlier. After the last frost (around mid-May), the plants can be moved outdoors, or earlier in mild weather, but be cautious of night frost. In that case, bring them indoors overnight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003ePlanting outdoors\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you prefer to plant the canna rhizomes after the risk of frost has passed, do so after mid-May. From that point on, the rhizomes can safely be planted outdoors and will usually flower around 60–90 days later. Plant the canna rhizome with the new shoots facing upwards, 2 to 3 centimetres below the soil surface, and allow about 40 cm spacing between plants. Planting can continue until June.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePosition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCannas prefer a sunny position in nutrient-rich, well-drained soil. \u003cem\u003eCanna\u003c\/em\u003e 'Red Dazzler' grows to about 70 cm tall and has strong, reed-like stems with medium-sized flowers. This usually means no additional support is needed. Place the plant in a sheltered spot if possible. For container planting, a pot with a minimum width of 40 cm is recommended to prevent the soil from drying out too quickly during summer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCare\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep the soil around \u003cem\u003eCanna\u003c\/em\u003e 'Red Dazzler' consistently slightly moist. Soil that becomes too dry can affect growth and flowering. The plant blooms for approximately 6 to 8 weeks. Allow the foliage to die back naturally after flowering so the rhizome can store energy for the following season. In autumn, cut the withered plant back to ground level. Rhizomes planted in the ground can be protected against light frost with a layer of leaves. In severe frost, the rhizomes should be lifted and stored frost-free and dry. An advantage of lifting the rhizomes is that they can be divided immediately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeed the plant several times a year for best results. Cannas grow quickly and require plenty of nutrients.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePropagation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn autumn, the rhizomes continue to grow well. Do not lift them too early; just before the first frost is usually the best time. Divide the rhizomes preferably in spring, when they are replanted. This helps prevent damage and reduces the risk of fungal problems during winter storage. We recommend dividing \u003cem\u003eCanna\u003c\/em\u003e 'Red Dazzler' every 2 to 3 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eEdible\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rhizomes of \u003cem\u003eCanna indica\u003c\/em\u003e contain a high amount of starch.
