Now can I have a Canna? You bet!
Tropicanna canna
Cannas are really rhizomes and make for a gorgeous tropical look to the garden. Those big leaves and flowers with delicate grasses make a great contrast. Plant them in the ground or in containers in sun or very light shade. If you deadhead the spent flowers you’ll encourage more lush foliage growth. Come fall, dig them up, CUT the foliage; don’t pull it off and then store in your basement for next year.
