  • Description

  • Notes

Cannas are a wonderful, bold, tropical-looking plants that emerge from tuberous rootstocks, and range in height from 2 to 10 feet, but are usually pretty narrow compared to their height. The foliage is large, lance-shaped, and may range from green to bronze to purple, and even striped. Flowers bloom mid to late summer, and range in shades of yellow, oranges, reds, and corals. As they are not dependably hardy, enjoy them in containers and raised planters.
