Canna
Canna X Generalis
Overview
Canna x generalis, commonly known as Canna Lily, boasts lush, tropical foliage and bold, often multicolored flowers atop stems ranging 1.5-8 feet high. Thriving in full sun to partial shade, they require moist, well-drained soil. Hardy in USDA zones 7-10, Cannas are perennials in warmer climates and can be overwintered indoors in colder regions. Their vibrant presence ideally suits borders, containers, and water features, providing a splendid, eye-catching display.
