Powdery Alligator Flag / Hardy Water Canna

Thalia dealbata


A striking plant with large glaucous leaves and small purplish flowers held high on long thin stems.

This plant will die back to its basket for winter*, and begin growing again in the spring. Trim off brown stems/leaves in the autumn to tidy it up.

*This semi hardy plant can stay outside providing the roots are deep enough in the water to avoid frost level.

The recommended depth in water is calculated as the distance between the top of the basket and the water surface. Therefore "0" would be the basket rim at the water surface.

This plant is supplied in a standard plastic plant pot. It will benefit from being repotted into a mesh basket. See our range here.
