I saw this plant the other day and want one. I have searched but haven't found it. It is 5 foot tall with dark red and green leaves with bright orange flowers in a cluster at the top. ( photo / image / picture from browntnthumb's Garden ) To hide these ads please register / sign in

That's a Canna X generalis (Canna Lily) Some call it a Canna Lily but it is not a lily. That one is specifically is a Canna 'Tropicana' _________________ To be interested in the changing seasons is a happier state of mind than to be hopelessly in love with Spring ---- George Santayana

I just planted one about a week ago. Hope this Texas heat won't kill it. Mine is Canna 'Phasion'. _________________ Gaylyn ~ 2277 ~ "I'm so far behind, I thought I was first" "Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, It's about learning to dance in the rain"
