What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly praise the spectacular, vibrant yellow blooms of the Richard Wallace Canna Lily, noting their dramatic tropical focal point and impressive height once established. Satisfied buyers confirm the rhizomes were substantial and healthy upon arrival, offering exceptional visual impact and value. However, success is variable. Some report challenges with sprouting or slow establishment, which is often linked to planting timing or soil conditions. While the potential for stunning results is high, achieving that display requires gardeners to be comfortable managing the natural dormancy and specific needs of perennial rhizomes. The core experience centers on high reward balanced against inherent planting variability.
