GIANT ARCHITECTURAL FOLIAGE WITH VIVID RED STRIPING: Grande Red Stripe is a foliage-forward canna that earns its place in the garden long before the first bud appears. The enormous, lush green leaves are brushed with bold red striping along the midrib and margins, creating a tropical, high-texture effect that reads beautifully from a distance. This is one of the most architecturally striking cannas available for home gardens. EXCEPTIONAL HEIGHT FOR SCREENING AND PRIVACY: At 6 to 8 feet or more at maturity, Grande Red Stripe is one of the most effective seasonal screening plants you can grow from a rhizome. A row planted 12 to 18 inches apart fills in rapidly to form a lush living wall that conceals fences, utility areas, or neighboring structures from midsummer through fall. It establishes quickly once the soil warms above 60°F. LATE-SEASON RED BLOOMS ADD A FINISHING TOUCH: While Grande Red Stripe is primarily grown for its dramatic foliage, red blooms appear later in the season to complement the striped leaf display. The combination of towering striped foliage and red flowers keeps this variety visually interesting from planting through the first frost, making it a strong performer across a long garden season. HEAT-LOVING AND LOW MAINTENANCE ACROSS A WIDE ZONE RANGE: Rated for USDA Zones 3 through 9, Grande Red Stripe is built for heat and thrives in full to part sun with minimal intervention. Water deeply once a week, fertilize with a high-nitrogen formula twice monthly, and remove spent flower spikes to keep the plant looking its best. Even without deadheading, the bold foliage remains the main attraction. FRESH, MULTI-EYE RHIZOME WITH VIGOROUS GROWTH POTENTIAL: Each order includes one grade 3/5 eye rhizome with a minimum of 3 to 5 eyes, packed fresh and ready for spring planting. Canna rhizomes multiply each season, with one plant producing 3 to 5 new offsets by fall. In Zones 7 to 9, rhizomes can stay in the ground over winter with a mulch cover. In colder zones, dig and store before hard frost at around 50°F. Grande Red Stripe commands attention with lush green leaves brushed with vivid red striping. Its tall, architectural habit is perfect for back of border drama or a standout container. Heat loving and low maintenance, it rewards you with rich color and texture from summer well into fall.
