Canna x generalis 'Cannova Scarlet'

Striking red Canna Lily flowers are held above the large, dark green leaves. Great for creating an exotic and showy display in borders or pots on the patio. After many years of development, these Canna Lilies differ from almost all other Canna on the market. Unlike other Canna Lilies, this variety will be early to flower and will bloom reliably outdoors in the UK and Europe. Height: 75cm (30in) Spread: 40cm (16).<br /><br /><p>Culinary note: Canna lily rhizomes can be eaten raw and have a taste similar to water chestnut, although they are sometimes bitter. They can also be boiled and baked, in the same way as a potato and have a similar texture and taste.
