Canna Lily

Bring a tropical look to your garden even if you don’t live there. Canna lilies are perennials that send up flesh stems from underground roots (or rhizomes). Flowers unfurl from the foliage. There are 4 different sizes ranging from dwarf (40 to 60 cm) through to tall (1.5–2 metres). Flowers come in all colours except blue, green and black. Foliage can be burgundy, green or variegated with stripes. Not recommended for planting near bushland.
