How we measure your trees

Apricot Frost Canna Lily Bulbs – A Stunning, Cold-Tolerant Canna
If you love the tropical look of canna lilies but wish they were just a little easier to grow in cooler climates, Apricot Frost Canna is exactly what you need. Unlike traditional cannas that struggle in cooler temperatures, this variety is more cold-tolerant than many others, reliably returning in USDA Zone 7b and warmer. In colder zones, a thick layer of mulch can help protect the rhizomes through winter, and in Zone 6 or below, it’s best to lift and store them for replanting in spring.
Its soft apricot-colored flowers are unique among cannas, offering a more delicate and elegant look compared to the usual bright reds and oranges. The blooms sit atop tall, deep green foliage, creating a bold yet refined statement in any garden or container. Whether you want to brighten up your patio, add structure to a flower bed, or create a stunning focal point, this canna does it all.
Why Choose Apricot Frost Canna?
✔ Cold-Tolerant to Zone 7b – More resilient than many canna varieties, returning yearly in warmer zones. In colder climates, mulch can provide extra protection, or rhizomes can be lifted and stored.
✔ Elegant Apricot Blooms – A rare color in the canna family, offering a softer, more sophisticated look.
✔ Extended Blooming Season – Flowers from early summer all the way into fall.
✔ Attracts Pollinators – Hummingbirds and butterflies can’t resist its nectar-rich blooms.
✔ Perfect for Containers – Thrives in pots that can be brought inside for winter in colder zones.
How It Stands Out from Other Cannas
Most cannas are tropical in nature, thriving in warm, humid environments and requiring winter protection in cooler zones. Apricot Frost is different—it has been selectively bred to handle slightly cooler temperatures while maintaining the lush foliage and vibrant blooms that make cannas so popular. The soft apricot hue is also a departure from the usual fiery tones, making it a great choice if you love cannas but want something less bold and more refined.
Another key difference? Many traditional cannas grow up to 6 feet tall, making them difficult to manage in smaller gardens. Apricot Frost stays compact, reaching about 3-4 feet tall, so you get the tropical appeal without the overwhelming size.
Where to Use Apricot Frost Canna in Your Garden
- As a focal point – The unusual bloom color and striking foliage make it stand out.
- Mixed into perennial beds – Pair it with purple salvias, white coneflowers, or blue lobelia for contrast.
- Around water features – Cannas love moisture, making them a perfect choice near ponds or fountains.
- In large pots on a patio – Great for creating a tropical feel without taking over the space.
- As a seasonal hedge – Plant them in a row for a low-maintenance privacy screen during the warm months.
Who Will Love This Plant?
- Gardeners in warmer climates (Zone 7b+) who want a beautiful, low-maintenance perennial.
Gardeners in colder climates (Zone 6 or below) who don’t mind lifting and storing bulbs for winter.
People who love unique flower colors—apricot isn’t common in cannas, making this one special.
Hummingbird and butterfly enthusiasts looking for nectar-rich blooms.
Container gardeners who want a bold, easy-to-care-for plant for their patio.

Whether you plant it in the ground in warmer climates or keep it in a pot for easy overwintering, you’ll love the way it transforms your space with lush greenery and stunning apricot blooms all summer long.
