canna australia

[Panama Pete]

ive purchased ten canna australia. mine are a bit behind so I couldnt resist

[Deedee]

They are lovely PP, i bought 2 canna yesterday, £9.99 each..

[fern Rob]

My cannas are still not through soil level but they are still alive in the pots, I don't think I will get my cannas to flower this year.

there really nice and virus free

Nice, Australia is a lovely Canna.

A word of warning though, as Canna hybrids go, it's relatively slow and difficult to overwinter, or so I found.

Always wanted australia so i couldn't resist when i visited crews hill today....

There must have been over 100 of them there

[fern Rob]

What a great buy at £1.99, when ever I have seen them for sale at my local garden centres they have been about £5.00.

[pdid]

I got 3 £4 each local-ish, I'm fairly sure they're a tenner at the local GC.

I would buy 10 if they were £1.99 but there is a big difference between 10 for £20 and 10 for £100.

[fern Rob]

I would buy 10 if they where £1.99' they look great in pots.

Panama Pete were did you get the canna australia from and how much as I have been wanting one and yours look nice and healthy and more important "virus free" and you do not live too far away from me so if you got them from somewhere local it should not be too out of the question for me to pay them a visit, thanks.

From crews hill Jbally

Great buy that, at £1.99 its rude not too

Word of warning on these. they look like the same type i bought from my local GC last week. Although the tag says "Australia" the pot noted "Black night" and i think thats what they are. I have some young Australia as well and theres a big difference in colour ( the young Australia have totally dark purple leaves where as the Black night appear to fade down the leaf veins and show shades of green)

I hope both ours turn out to be Australia but i dont hold much hope atm

I got some on Friday, from the same nursery source...

The flower should made it easier to ID?

Better pic of crews ones....

Looking at your pic Jezza I would say that the Canna isn't Australia. Australia has a smoother leaf and is much darker in colour
