Green Leaf – Red Flower Canna Lily – 1 Bulb (Tropical plant)

1 X Canna Lily Bulb – Bulb will be similar to pictured

Canna (Canna Indica) are unrelated to true lilies, even though they’re commonly called “canna lilies.” This flowering perennial plant is related to bananas and gingers! This may not be surprising when you consider their huge paddle-shape leaves in those gorgeous red, orange, and bronze colors.

Though often called “bulbs,” cannas are not true bulbs as they multiply beneath the soil from a rhizome, an underground stem.

Canna is hardy to USDA zones 8 to 11. They’ll grow up to 8 feet tall in one season.

Cannas can be both focal points and stylish accents. Use them to bring structure as a tall border or to add depth to narrow spaces. They add a colorful splash to garden orders and poolside plantings, bring a tropical touch to water features, and thrive in boggy areas (NOT salt water). Mix cannas with grasses, lantana, zinnias, snapdragons, elephant ears, salvia, periwinkles, and more.

Note: Canna plants can be left outside in the ground all winter in zones 7 to 10. They will also grow equally well in large containers dragged inside during the dormant period. In colder climates, cannas are easy to lift and store during cooler months.
