Canna

Striking flowers attract butterflies and complement bold, colorful foliage. Fantastic in containers and planted in the garden. Lovely at water's edge and a wonderful contrast to fine-textured water plants. Can be grown as a house plant or lifted and stored from season to season where not winter hardy.
