A duo for fiery foliage

Canna ‘Phaison’ AGM

The broad leaves of this tender plant are striped green, purple, orange and pink – they look really spectacular when backlit by the sun. Lift tubers after the first frosts, for overwintering as you would dahlias. HxS: 5ftx32in (1½mx80cm).

Hibiscus ‘Mahogany Splendor’

A tender perennial that’s best treated as a half-hardy annual, with chocolate red, acer-like foliage that provides the perfect foil for hot summer blooms. Very versatile: use in borders and containers, and add to flower arrangements. HxS: 39inx2ft (1mx60cm).
