Description
1 x Canna edulis (indica) Plant/Tuber
This will be a section of healthy tuber/root and may be either dormant OR with growing tip/leaf – ready to plant at your place.
- Excellent crop for those into self-sufficiency, food forests or prepping for food shortages.
- Abundant food producer, and low maintenance. Provides a starchy carbohydrate all year round.
- Ornamental – As if eating it wasn’t enough, it is also very attractive with a beautiful vivid red lily flower and lush foliage. Here in Queensland it flowers pretty much all year. Also known as Red Canna Lily.
- The tuber can be cooked and eaten similar to potatoes, sweet potatoes or Jerusalem artichokes. Hint: Sliced and pan fried with garlic in olive oil – yum!
- This is what they used for making Arrowroot biscuits back in the day – tonnes of it being grown around Brisbane.
- Leaves are very good for creating organic mulch and compost.
- Super tough – this grows in any spot in the garden. It even grows in full shade and heavy clay – just slowly 🙂
Planting:
Best planted in full sun to part shade for good tuber production.
Shipping:
Plants will only be sent out on Mondays and Tuesdays to minimize the risk of being stuck in transit over the weekend
