Tropicanna

The Canna cultivar named 'Tropicanna' is a beauty.


A bit busy for some spots in the garden with all of the stripes and different colors in the leaves, but so striking!

Just look at what it has to offer:
















(Good thing I photographed these blooms when they were fresh, as the heat of the day (105ºF/41ºC) spoiled them. They were severely curled at the edges and shrunken by evening.)

  2. I was going to ask how these were doing in the heat... Sorry to hear that they were spoiled. But the pictures are beautiful!

  3. Beautiful! Is this the offset I sent you? Mine aren't doing well this year because they're completely shaded by an Alphonse Karr bamboo.

  4. Beautiful photos. I found Canna at a nursery, have no idea what type they are (just marked as "canna"), but the leaves look the same as yours. I'll be so happy if they are the same - yours are so lovely.
