I needed 18 different types of canas, but here they come in sets of 3. It would have been interesting to be able to buy them individually, even if a bit more expensive. What a shame. Have a good day, everyone.

Description
Canna Brilliant, formerly known as Indian Shot, is a brick red colour, enhanced by its large green leaves reminiscent of those of a banana tree (a distant botanical cousin). It is of medium size, about 1 metre (3 feet).
It will flower from July until the first frost. Consider planting it in a bed with about ten bulbs, of the same variety or mixed with varieties with purple foliage. Be careful to dig up the bulb before the first frost, as it is susceptible to freezing.

Planting and care
Canna doesn't like the cold and should be protected from frost during winter. When planting it in the ground, it should only be done after the last frosts. It should also be stored away at the first frost to keep the bulbs dry and cool, for example in a bit of turf. Plant them in a moist but well-drained soil (if necessary, lighten your soil with some turf or sand). Cover with 5cm (2in) of soil, and keep a spacing of 40cm (16in) between the bulbs. Apply organic fertilizer at planting and at least once a month. Water regularly so that the soil never completely dries out. You can also speed up their growth cycle by planting them in pots in a frost-free shelter as early as February, and then transplant them to the garden when the weather is warmer (June in the North of France). You can also cultivate them in pots (1 bulb per pot).

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
