Carolina Cannas

Few plants can match the tropical appeal and spectacular presence of a tropical canna. Growing from three to over eight feet in a single season, these trouble-free beauties originated in South America and the West Indies. They become more popular in the U.S with each passing season and it's easy to see why. Amazingly versatile, cannas can be successfully used in mixed borders, massed in garden beds by themselves, tucked between small to medium shrubs and in moist areas. Dwarf varieties work well as edgings and in large containers with smaller plants at their feet. Whether you choose them for their vibrant blooms or bold or patterned leaves, make room for some easy to please cannas in your garden this year.
