Tropicanna / Companion Plants

We all know that plants are dynamic, living things, and because we understand so much about our own plants (we carry out trials around the world) we appreciate the subtle differences regarding their growth and habit.

Which is why it’s worthwhile visiting the section of our site which gives you local information – which plants are available; when it’s best to plant, prune and feed them; tips and so on. It’s all here to help you enjoy them more.

Tropicanna Tropicanna

TROPICANNA ®, no doubt one of the most stunning of the NEW generation cannas which we introduced into the market in 1994 helping bring a renewed interest in cannas worldwide

Tropicanna® looks fabulous with a foreground of strappy leaved plants, such as a Cordyline like Festival Grass®. Hemerocallis (Daylilies) with their long season of color provide a flower filled edging to your Tropicanna® planting. Clipped foliage shrubs such as Box, Yew and Dwarf Conifers create a strong contrast to the upright exuberance of Tropicanna®. To create a strong architectural theme plant Phormiums (New Zealand flax) in all their many and varied colors and Yucca’s with Tropicanna® to create a wonderful structural effect. Flower Carpet® Coral roses look stunning placed in front of a planting of Tropicanna® with its variegated foliage. A row of the prolific flowering Agapanthus (Lily of the Nile) Snowstorm and Buestorm with their many heads of white and blue flowers in summer is a refreshing and effective border for a planting of Tropicanna®.

"I bought 2 of the scarlet carpet roses last year. They have the best color of foliage i have see so far of all your roses. and the bloom color is amazing. The pink supreme i have 2 in my garden. Right now the color hasn't had much chance to develop since we have had so much rain. All the other carpet roses that i have planted over the past several years have bloomed totally beautiful this year. The coral was amazing. The pink was like a bright raspberry color this time. But next year 2009, that is the one i have been wating for. I have the perfect spots for 2 of the new ones you will bringing out for then. They will finish the circle of roses in the front yard around the dogwoods. All i can say is, keep up the good work. Your roses are wonderful. I have beeen giving them as house warming gifts this year for newly built homes. My friends truly loved the scarlet rose for their new front lawn. Thanks for a wonderful rose. What color is next after the 2009 amber? How can you truly top all of these. A violet maybe, or a candystripe."
