Canna South Pacific Orange F1

2018 AAS Flower Winner

Sister to 2013 AAS Winner South Pacific Scarlet, this newest AAS Winner is compact in habit and well suited for both landscape and container use. This variety is more vigorous, more uniform, and has more basal branching than comparison cannas. It offers an outstanding bloom color in an attractive, vivid bright orange that contrasts nicely with the bright green foliage. Pollinator gardens will love this addition of an attractive canna that sports uniformly colored flowers over a long blooming period. Bonus: this canna is grown from seed, not tuber, meaning less chance of succumbing to disease.

  1. Jeni Cullen, Eden Park, Cincinnati, OH – 12/17/2020

    This is a super easy to grow, compact canna with a beautiful orange flower that blooms profusely through the summer and fall. It works great in multiple garden settings as well as in containers.

  2. AAS Display Garden- River Valley Master Gardeners – 08/09/2018

    This canna was easy to start from seed. The plants were uniform and the bright orange flowers were a focal point in the garden.
