Canna Tropicanna Lily

Look closely at the colours in these striped leaves of Canna Tropicanna. They are truly beautiful.

I grow other cannas with striped leaves, too - particularly a cream and green variety sold under the name Bengal Tiger.

Cannas in the Moosey garden flower quite late in summer - I often get very cautious about frost damage, and treat them as half hardy. This favourite canna has recently been transplanted into a house garden, so I can enjoy its beautiful leaves and gorgeous rich orange flowers.
