Canna lillies!

[Pickles]

I want to buy some already potted but don't seem to be having much luck finding any! I adore the bright orangey red ones here and am so jealous of people who have them in their gardens.

Has anyone seen any in any shops or garden centres?

Kissos garden centre in Kissonerga had them yesterday

She's my friend and told me last week she didn't have any!!! I'll be down there later.

Many Thanks

I hope I didn't imagine them or am getting my lillies mixed up. I thinkt they were just in the entrance.

Just re-read your post -it was Calla lillies I saw!

[Pickles]

Oh yes they're different - the ones you saw are the ones used most commonly in bouquets, Canna lillies are a bit different.

Thanks anyway

I have just noticed this old post. But if still an issue I went to Kew Gardens and saw this plant growing in pond water. I made a few inquiries and now grow mine in a planter with pond liner in--- so no drainage. I believe the plant is an edible native of north America but have not indulged.
