Canna Lily
Canna x generalis
(KAN-uh) (jen-er-RAY-liss)
This plant came in marked ‘Red
President’ but it isn’t. That is surprising since it is from one of the mega
nurseries that starts with the letter ‘M’. Lucky it turned out to be a nice
color and it didn’t have any affect on a color scheme for the planting. We have
slowly begun growing a few more Canna Lilies again after having bad results for
several years. I do love their bold foliage and the flowers are kind of an
added bonus. Quite a few Canna varieties seem to be self cleaning these days
and that is helpful in keeping them looking nice without extra work.
I finally finished the ‘farm’
we have been working on. If I never have to cut another landscape timber on an
angle again that will be okay with me. Now the scramble will be trying to get
some decent vegetable plants to fill the beds.

I went back and forth for years trying to decide if I liked cannas or not..I guess I decided I do, I have reds, pinks, yellows and the dark leafed ones..
