Old and New Tropical flowering, Perennial Garden Plant Varieties
Healthy cannas for sale rhizomes/plants are supplied bare rooted with excess leaves and roots trimmed back.
Example pics of stock dispatched.
Size of divisions do vary, some cultivars will have big and chunky rhizomes with new shoots spread apart whilst others will be small and tight with new shoots tightly packed together whilst a few cannas will produce only 1 new eye growth 10 inches or more from the growing stem. I have been growing cannas since 1996-97 and and selling cannas on and off from 2004 and I have purchased some very sad pieces over the years, so rest assured I only dispatch plant divisions that I myself would want to receive. Some plants are grown in ground and some plants are as potted stock, however I aim to dispatch a minimum of 1 new eye growths on rhizome though some plants may not be showing eye growth though they wont be far from it, stem growths that have already flowered will be trimmed right back on an angle and unflowered growth will also be partly trimmed back so plants can reserve their energy to produce further new above and below ground growth, no one want to receive a (2 foot tall sad looking plant with droopy leaves and floppy stem that can take weeks to resettle in and recover).
The white roots are new growth mostly coming from the new eye shoots that will grow and keep your five foot tall plant from falling over in the future, the black roots are old dead roots from past growth and the brown roots wont grow any longer however they will produce fine feeder roots off them.
I have trialed cannas for postage conditions many many years ago (packed and sealed as for dispatch and they bounced around in the boot of my car for 2-3 weeks), once planted out they bounced away in new growth.
A recent example of 2 plants ready for packing and postage.
Canna rhizomes are a plant that will last very well if there are delays in the postage system however overwatering small shoots with no rhizome can cause plants to rot.
Upon receiving your plants place in a shaded area if unable to plant out for a few days, large pots are great however garden beds are better, turnover soil planting position and incorporate some fertilizer or aged or fermented animal manure to increase soil microbiomes, plant it, water it, mulch if in a hot summer then wait for plant to resettle and send out new growth before increasing water. In winter with regular rainfall I simply don't water newly planted rhizomes.
Postage is calculated live via Australia Post with Regular and Express options available to Victoria, New South Wales, South Australia and Queensland Gardeners. Dispatch is generally within 3-5 business days as I am currently in the process of moving lots of plants to my new location within the Golden Triangle in Victoria, tracking supplied via email day of dispatch.
