Cultural Notes: Canna Tropicanna Gold will tolerate a range of soils but will perform best in a deep fertile soil but will also tolerate poorly drained areas. Pruning not necessary. Spent flower blooms drop naturally. Dig and divide to maintain size and shape. With masses of broad fleshy leaves, Canna Tropicanna Gold enjoys frequent watering to perform at its best. Fertilize in spring, use a handful per plant of slow-release fertiliser. Information and images courtesy of Anthony Tesselaar.
