Canna (Canna Lily): Tropical Foliage & Vibrant Flowers for Your Garden

Canna, commonly known as canna lily, is a striking genus of flowering plants in the Cannaceae family, celebrated for its large, banana-like leaves and vibrant summer blooms in shades of red, orange, yellow, and pink. These herbaceous perennials die back in winter and regrow in spring, making them a reliable choice for seasonal colour.

Thriving in full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil, Cannas are perfect for tropical-themed gardens, borders, and focal points. They can be propagated easily from rhizomes and, with proper care, deliver lush foliage and stunning flowers year after year. Some species even have edible rhizomes, adding versatility to their ornamental appeal.
