Canna Lily Lucifer is
one of the smaller Canna's, typically growing to 2.5-3.5 feet tall.
The flowers of the Canna Lily Lucifer are the big calling for me.
The centers of the flowers are a brilliant red and the outer part of the
petals yellow fading to cream. Canna Lily Lucifer runs at a moderate
pace for a Canna, the the flower spikes will often branch providing even
more color per plant. The foliage tends to fade first making the
flowers the real reason to grow this Canna Lily. Canna Lily Lucifer
will bloom in light shade but really prefers a sunny spot in the garden.
When planting the Canna Lily bulbs, or more properly rhizomes they should
be placed a couple of inches under the surface in well tended soil. Canna
Lily Lucifer is frost tolerant down to 0 with a thick layer of mulch over the root
zone. In colder climates Canna bulbs should be taken up and stored
with the first hard frost.
