Canna indica

Common name arrowroot

Family cannaceae

Life cycle tender perennial

Flowers various colors (summer)

Light sun-part shade

Cultural notes moist soil

Grown both for dramatic foliage and flashy flowers. Not hardy in our gardening zone. We grew them for a few years, lifting them every fall - until I forgot one year. This year, we mail-ordered for some new ones: the popular 'Tropicanna', as well as the variety 'Wyoming'.

This plant used to grow in our garden, but it slipped away...
