Description
Canna 'Angelique' is a medium-sized cultivar with high ornamental value, distinguished by its large, dark purple-violet leaves that perfectly complement its long-lasting summer flowering in a lovely bright salmon-pink. It grows quickly and makes a big impact in an exotic flower bed, as well as in a beautiful pot on a patio.
Canna 'Angelique' is a rhizomatous and herbaceous plant from the Cannaceae family. Its ancestors are native to tropical areas of Asia and America. This hybrid quickly forms a lush clump, reaching a height of 80cm (32in) and occupying about 60 to 70cm (24 to 28in) of ground space. It has large, entire, broad, oblong leaves with sheathing bases. The shiny lamina boasts purplish hues and brown highlights, and is fully covered by prominent veins.
Flowering takes place from July-August to September-October, in the form of salmon-pink flowers with red and yellow throats. Each flower, measuring 6 to 8cm (2 to 3in) in diameter, is asymmetrical and composed of 3 fused petals at the base, 3 sepals, and visible stamens. The plant easily propagates vegetatively by producing numerous offshoots.
Canna 'Angelique' is perfect for gardens, patios, and balconies. It is very easy to grow if it is given water and nutrients during its growth period. It should be stored away from strong frost and excessive humidity in winter. In a large flower bed, it can be combined with banana trees such as Musa velutina or M. ventricosa, Ricinus communis (the castor oil plant), kniphofia, agapanthus, or even with dahlias with purple foliage.

Planting and care
Plant the bulbs after the last frosts. The soil should be moist but well-drained (if necessary, lighten your soil with turf or sand). Space them 40cm (16in) apart. Cover with 5cm (2in) of soil. Apply organic fertiliser at planting and at least once a month. Water regularly so that the soil never completely dries out. Its flowering will be more beautiful if it is planted in partial shade.
Dig up the stumps when the first frost arrives or just before. Leave some soil around the roots, then store in a frost-free place, even if deprived of light. Divide the stumps in March, if necessary. Replant the divisions in pots, in a bright and heated area to start them off, then plant them in the garden when frost is no longer a concern. In recent years, due to the magnitude of the task, we have decided to leave the plants in the garden all year round. As soon as the first white frosts arrive, we cut back the foliage to the ground and then cover the stumps with a 15 to 20cm (6 to 8in) layer of straw or dead leaves. This mulching can be done in all regions. The important thing is that the frost should never reach the rhizomes that are just below the surface of the soil. We have seen that this method yields better results in our garden: the stumps are more robust, the plants are larger, and the flowering is more abundant.
Canna 'Angelique' can still withstand brief frosts of around -5°C (23°F) in well-drained and fairly dry soil, under a protective mulch.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).

In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
