Black Knight Canna Lily Rhizome – Red Blooms & Dark Foliage | Ships Spring 2027

Spring 2027 preorder. Ships Spring 2027, not immediately. Each order includes 1 bare-root Black Knight canna rhizome.

Velvety red flowers rise above deep burgundy-bronze leaves, giving Black Knight the presence of a living sculpture. Its rich contrast brings warmth and depth to sunlit borders, generous patio containers and tropical-inspired gardens.

Let it anchor a planting of brighter blooms, or give it a pot of its own and watch the summer light catch those dramatic leaves. The flowers are red; the variety’s dark character comes from its foliage.

Planting & care

Plant outdoors after frost danger has passed and soil has warmed. Choose fertile, well-drained soil or a spacious container with drainage holes. Keep soil evenly moist during active growth. In colder climates, lift rhizomes before the ground freezes and store frost-free over winter. Flower and foliage photos illustrate the growing variety.
