Cannas are large tropical and subtropical flowering plants with large, banana-like leaves that grow out of a stem in a long narrow roll and then unfurl. Their spectacular, showy, lily-like flowers are typically red, orange, or yellow or any combination of those colors. Cannas are often grown for their foliage alone, with their large, banana-like leaves that come in greens, blue-greens, variegation and stripes.
Excellent in borders, raised beds and as potted plants, Cannas are very attractive because of their vibrant mixture of colors, attractive foliage and their attraction of hummingbirds.
