Cannas are large tropical and subtropical flowering plants with large, banana-like leaves that grow out of a stem in a long narrow roll and then unfurl. Their spectacular, showy, lily-like flowers are typically red, orange, or yellow or any combination of those colors. Cannas are often grown for their foliage alone, with their large, banana-like leaves that come in greens, blue-greens, variegation and stripes.
Excellent in borders, raised beds and as potted plants, Cannas are very attractive because of their vibrant mixture of colors, attractive foliage and their attraction of hummingbirds.
Why We Love Cannas
