  • Description / Canna Tropicanna® Hot Tamale Canna Lily Bulb

    Bold, tropical color doesn?t have to wait for summer. With Canna Tropicanna® Hot Tamale, your garden gets an early-season burst of energy, bright red blooms atop striking tri-color foliage in vivid red, green, and yellow. Compact, upright, and fast-growing, this clumping canna lily brings instant drama to beds, borders, and containers with its lush texture and fiery color palette. From late spring through midsummer, it lights up sunny spaces with nonstop impact.

    Hot Tamale's smaller size (just 6 feet tall and 2 feet wide) makes it more versatile than traditional cannas, especially in tighter garden spaces or patio pots. Its bold foliage is reminiscent of the original Tropicanna®, but paired with glowing scarlet flowers for an even more eye-catching display. Whether used as a specimen plant, grouped in mass plantings, or featured in large containers, it adds tropical flair and color contrast that lasts through the warmest months.

    This canna lily thrives in full sun and adapts to a wide range of soil types, including average, moist, or even boggy ground. Hardy in Zones 7 to 11, it can be grown as an annual in cooler regions or lifted and stored over winter. Canna Tropicanna® Hot Tamale is easy to grow, reliably showy, and perfect for gardeners looking to add fast, high-impact color to their summer garden.
