How We Ship Your Plants
From our nursery to your doorstep
Ordering live plants online should feel exciting, not stressful. We only ship healthy, well-rooted trees and plants, packed to arrive ready to thrive.

Some nurseries cut corners to save on shipping. A strong root system is the foundation for long-term success, so your plant should arrive ready to thrive, not struggling to recover from shortcuts.
We never
- Ship bare-root plants

We always
- Ship plants with healthy, developed roots, so they establish faster at your home
- Put plant health first, not minimizing shipping costs

- Reduce time in transit for your plants
- Ship large items more efficiently
How we measure your trees
When you order a 5–6 ft. tree, you get a tree that's 5–6 ft. tall above the soil, not "including the container." You'll know what to expect when it arrives, and what it will look like in the ground.

Toucan® Scarlet Canna Lily: Tropical Impact, Effortless Color
Looking to turn up the heat in your landscape? The Toucan® Scarlet Canna Lily delivers bold red blooms and dramatic form without demanding care. With vibrant flowers rising above lush foliage, this tropical-style perennial brings rich color and visual energy to containers, borders, and garden beds.
From the first warm weeks of summer through the crisp days of fall, this canna lily keeps blooming—and thriving. It’s the kind of plant that makes a statement without requiring constant attention, making it a favorite for homeowners and garden designers alike.
Plant Highlights: What Makes the Toucan® Scarlet Canna Lily Stand Out
- Fire-Red Flowers: Vivid scarlet blooms with a soft, velvety texture sit high above the foliage, drawing in pollinators and attention alike.
- Lush Tropical Look: Large, paddle-shaped leaves in a deep green hue provide the perfect backdrop for the blooms—creating a high-contrast, high-impact effect.
- Nonstop Blooms: This variety delivers a long blooming window from early summer into the cooler days of fall, giving your landscape continued vibrancy.
- Upright Habit: The vertical growth adds structure to garden beds and makes it perfect for anchoring mixed container arrangements.
- Critter-Resistant: Naturally resistant to deer and rabbits, giving you peace of mind and long-lasting beauty in your yard.
Why It Belongs in Your Garden
- Instant Focal Point: With its tall stature (typically 24–36 inches), vibrant flowers, and dense foliage, this canna lily commands attention whether used solo or in mass plantings.
- Low Effort, High Reward: This is a plant you can count on—even if you're new to gardening. Once planted, it takes off with minimal guidance.
- Perfect for Patio Decor: Add one or two to a container on your deck or balcony for a tropical flair that’s visible from inside the house.
- Pollinator Friendly: Attracts hummingbirds and butterflies, adding movement and life to your outdoor space.
- Design-Friendly Structure: Use it to add height at the back of a border, or plant in the center of a container as your "thriller" in a thriller-filler-spiller combo.
Toucan® Scarlet Canna Lily is a great choice for wet areas!
- Moisture-Loving: Cannas naturally thrive in moist, even soggy soil conditions. In fact, they are often planted around ponds, water gardens, and other wet spots because they handle excess moisture better than most perennials.
- Resilient Roots: Their thick rhizomes are adapted to wetter environments and won't easily rot, provided the area isn't completely submerged for long periods.
- Improved Growth: In consistently damp soil, Cannas like Toucan® Scarlet often grow fuller, taller, and produce more blooms compared to being in dry soils.
Quick Tip: They don't like standing water for extended periods (like swampy conditions), but anywhere that's wet to consistently moist is ideal.
Design Ideas & Companion Suggestions
- Tropical Border Combo: Pair with elephant ears, caladiums, or hibiscus for a full-on lush, tropical look.
- Bold Container Feature: Combine with lime green coleus, trailing sweet potato vine, or golden creeping Jenny for a colorful container with contrast.
- Poolside Planting: Line garden beds around patios or pools to create a resort-like atmosphere with movement, color, and height.
- Cut Flower Appeal: Use the blooms in tropical-inspired floral arrangements for a unique, garden-to-vase centerpiece.
