Use tropical-looking canna lilies to turn any garden spot into a south sea paradise. The multi colored blooms atop red and green foliage create constant interest and display in any landscape. Packed with richly colored flowers and "banana leaf" foliage, your canna lily grows in a wide range of soils and multiplies readily with regular watering. Canna lilies are plants whose foliage can absolutely pack just as much ornamental punch as their flowers. Check out the vein action and color gradation on a leaf belonging to a member of our Sunscape Canna collection. If you didn't know, cannas are bulbs that thrive in the heat and humidity, where applicable, of summer. Grow in garden beds off lawns near ornamental grasses, tropical hibiscus, dahlias, and caladiums are a few companion plant possibilities. You can layer in flowering bedding plants at their feet. Cannas enjoy full to part sun and rich, evenly moist soil. Those of us in Zone 8 or above can overwinter them in place in the garden. If you're in Zone 7, it's a bit of a gamble; be ready to take protective steps. Of course, your mileage may vary, depending on factors such as microclimate and exposure. Cannas like this beauty are incredibly dramatic when massed along walls or water gardens and for landscaping around pools. Great for borders and striking when mixed with other plants in large containers. Canna lilies grow in a range of soils and multiply readily with regular watering.
