With dramatic foliage ranging from green to bronze and burgundy to variegated and iris like, long-lasting, showy flowers in red, orange, yellow, pink and cream, canna lilies, or more commonly referred to simply as cannas, are an impressive sight. The sheer size of cannas makes them an excellent choice to add to the background of large planting beds where they can be blended with other large-scale plants. Cannas also work very well in large containers with a mixture of plants where they can serve as the centerpiece for the other plants. Whether you plant one color or mix and match different hues in group plantings, cannas are sure to make a bold statement in landscapes.
Cannas require little care and are easy to grow. They prefer full sun and plenty of heat but will survive in partial sun, typically growing up to 6 feet in height. Partial shade can potentially impact the color of the plants, making the leaves and flowers less vibrant. They thrive in a variety of soils but prefer rich, well-draining soils and like the soil to be kept moist. Though they typically don’t have a top or bottom, they should be planted horizontally with the eyes facing up in about 3 to 6 inches of soil for the best results.
