Dwarf Canna

Fabulously colored large blooms attract butterflies and complement bold, colorful foliage. A compact, low-growing variety lovely at water's edge and a wonderful contrast to fine-textured water plants. Very handsome in container gardens or along walls. In northern climates, lift and store root rhizomes over winter.
