Canna Prestige

Canna 'PRESTIGE' is a medium-height variety with a height of up to 100 cm and large red flowers 10–15 cm in diameter that contrast vividly with emerald-green foliage. The flowering period lasts from July until the first frosts, and the plant can maintain its decorative appearance even in a moderate climate thanks to its hardiness (zones 7–8). During the hot season, a higher level of humidity is required; however, with proper watering and good drainage, the canna quickly adapts to various conditions.

To successfully grow 'PRESTIGE', ensure sunny illumination and a wind-protected location. When planting in open ground, the rooting depth is 10–15 cm, and the distance between plants is about 45 cm. The plant also performs excellently in pots; however, it is important to avoid waterlogging and maintain moderate watering. After the first frosts, the rhizomes can be dug up, cleaned of soil, and stored in a dry cool place (5–10 °C) in sand or peat until spring.

Canna 'PRESTIGE' is resistant to diseases: fungal infections such as powdery mildew, as well as viral diseases transmitted by insects, can be controlled with regular treatment with fungicides and insecticides. It is important to maintain good ventilation around the plant and to remove weeds in a timely manner. Thanks to its decorativeness and ease of care, this variety is ideal for decorating sunny garden areas, balconies, terraces, as well as for use as cut flowers in hotel interiors, halls, and corridors.
