I have worked with A.D.R. Bulbs for almost 5 years now, and my company has sourced bulbs with them for longer than that. Communication is great - from ordering, to deliveries, to follow-ups on final product. I love the quality of the product as well as the service. We plant nearly 100,000 bulbs and A.D.R. keeps the whole process easy for us!

Canna 'Golden Lucifer' is a compact canna lily that produces bright yellow flowers adorned with red freckles, creating a striking contrast against its lush green foliage. Blooming from mid-summer to fall, this dwarf variety reaches about 3 to 4 feet in height and thrives in full sun with organically rich, moist, well-drained soil. It is heat and humidity tolerant, making it well-suited for sunny borders or large containers. Hardy in zones 8-11, it requires lifting and storing in colder climates before winter to ensure continued growth in the following season.

Planting: In spring, plant rhizomes horizontally 3 to 4 inches deep after the last frost, when soil has warmed to at least 60°F. Space 12 to 18 inches apart.
Location: Choose a spot in full sun for best flowering. In hot climates, light afternoon shade can help prevent leaf scorch.
Soil: Rich, well-drained, moisture-retentive soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0–7.0) is ideal.
Watering: Keep soil consistently moist, especially during hot weather. Deep weekly watering is recommended.
Temperature: Thrives in 70–90°F. Hardy in USDA zones 8–10; in colder zones, lift rhizomes in fall and store in a cool, dry place.
Fertilization: Feed monthly with a balanced fertilizer or apply slow-release fertilizer in spring and midsummer.
Pruning: Deadheading is optional but helps tidy the plant. Remove spent flower stalks without cutting off developing buds below.
Pest & Disease: Watch for Japanese beetles, caterpillars, and fungal leaf spots. Ensure good air circulation and avoid overhead watering.
Propagation: Divide rhizomes in spring before planting.
