Canna Giant ‘Black Knight’ is a bold summer blooming bulb valued for its dramatic foliage and rich flower color. This variety grows tall and upright with strong reedy stems and large paddle shaped leaves that create a striking tropical look in the garden. Deep maroon toned foliage sets the stage for vivid scarlet red blooms that appear throughout the summer season, delivering long lasting color and strong visual impact.
Cannas are fast growing plants that perform best in full sun to partial shade and consistently moist soil. ‘Black Knight’ is especially effective when planted in groups, where its height and color can anchor garden beds or add structure to large containers. It is also deer resistant, making it a dependable choice for landscapes where browsing pressure is a concern.
Plant rhizomes in early summer where cannas are not winter hardy, setting them two to four inches deep with shoots facing upward. Regular watering supports vigorous growth and continuous flowering, and removing spent blooms encourages ongoing performance. With its exotic appearance and easy care nature, Canna Giant ‘Black Knight’ is well suited for gardeners looking to add height, texture, and bold summer color to beds, borders, and planters.
