Canna indica ‘Assaut’ is a striking, tropical perennial known for its vibrant, fiery red blooms and bold, lush foliage. The large, showy flowers appear in mid-summer and continue into autumn, creating a dramatic display in the garden. The deep red petals, often tinged with orange, contrast beautifully with the broad, lush blue-green leaves, which have a strong, upright growth habit. This variety thrives in full sun and well-drained, moderately fertile soil, making it perfect for sunny borders, garden beds, and large containers. With a mature height of 1-2m, ‘Assaut’ adds both vertical interest and colour to landscapes. Its striking flowers attract pollinators, while the foliage provides texture and depth. Canna indica ‘Assaut’ is relatively low maintenance, though it benefits from regular watering and occasional summer feeding to keep the blooms going longer. A stunning Canna, ideal for gardeners seeking a long-lasting, tropical touch in their outdoor spaces.
