This Canna 'Black Knight', supplied on a rhizome, is an exotic sight with deep dark brown to almost black lance-shaped leaves and beautiful deep red flowers that proudly rise above the foliage. It blooms from July to September and thrives in a warm, sunny spot. Originally from the tropics, this beauty loves warmth and sunlight. 

The impressive flowers are beautifully supported by the contrasting dark foliage, creating a dramatic and lush effect in any garden or patio. Canna 'Black Knight' is an absolute must-have thanks to its mysterious appearance and rich, velvety red flowers. It also combines beautifully with other Canna varieties, such as the more variegated Canna 'Panache', for a vibrant, tropical color palette. 

When the first frost appears, it's best to lift it from the ground. Store the rhizome in a frost-free, dry location and replant it after the frost. Cannas were once the fashionable flower in Victorian England, and even today the timeless Black Knight remains a majestic eye-catcher that enhances the garden with strength and elegance.
