Christmas .....
We will suspend sending mail orders from Wednesday 4th December, starting again, weather permitting,  from 6th January 2025. Most of our plants are now under cover, dormant and probably not looking at their summer best, so we encourage you to look at our eGift Vouchers as an alternative.

Canna

These tropical plants are popular and easy to grow. Grow in full sun and water generously in summer. Stand plants in a drip tray in very shallow water will help keep plants healthy during hot dry spells & spray the leaves with water during cool parts of the day to revitalise the foliage. Lift the tubers or move plants grown in pots indoors when the leaves are first frosted in autumn.
