Maintenance guide

Canna ‘Australia’

Easy to grow, but it thrives with regular care! Here’s how to give it the best conditions:

Light

Canna Australia thrives in full sun and reveals its most intense colors when it receives plenty of light. In containers, place it in a warm, sunny spot.

Watering

Keep the soil evenly moist, especially during hot weather. Ensure good drainage to prevent standing water.

Nutrition

Fertilize every 2 weeks with a balanced fertilizer (such as 20-20-20) to promote vigorous growth and continuous flowering.

Trim and care

Remove faded flowers to encourage new stalks and cut stems back at the base at the end of the season.
