Canna
Lilies |
Bold and beautiful,
cannas refuse to blend into the background. Maybe
that's why they fell out of fashion in the first
half of the last century?
Cannas are finding their way, once again, into the
beds of gardeners who are looking for drought tolerant
and low-maintenance plants. Yellows, pinks and bold
orange flowers atop green, near-black or variegated
foliage, there's a canna for every garden!
Cannas are arranged by color, starting with near white
and ending with bold orange.
