Common name hardy water canna Family marantaceae Life cycle perennial (Z5-11) Flowers violet Size 6' Light Tall-growing pond marginal, with attractive leaves and flowers on tall stalks in summer. Strangely, some internet references rate this hardy to zone 5, others only to zone 8. I gather that for hardiness in the colder zones, it needs to be set deeper, well below the freeze line.

In our garden, this plant grows in the following area: pond filtration bog
