Cannas
Cannas are big, bold beauties that have bright blooms topping spectacular, tall plants. Their showy clustered flowers in yellow, pink, salmon, and shades of red attract hummingbirds and butterflies. These tropical-looking plants have lush foliage in different shades of green, purple and bronze — some even with stripes! Easy to grow, they bloom mid to late summer. We have a nice assortment of both Tall and Dwarf Cannas. If you cut back the spent flower stalks to the 2nd or 3rd leaf from the ground your Cannas will be shorter and fuller during the growing season. You might check out our 2013 Newsletter for some growing tips: Grow Cannas and Heat up the Jungle Fever.
