OT Cannas

17 years ago

Siam I love Cannas also. I have not tried any from seeds but it is the one tropical I seem to be able to grow and get to bloom. I grow all mine in pots so I do not have to dig them up. LOL

    Oh!!! Your cannas are to die for!!! I love the variegateds!
    Is that Stuttgart at the front of your second picture? I haven't found the right spot for mine yet. The edges turn brown. The variegated behind your Stuttgart..is it from the Tropicana series or a Pretoria? I have Pretoria but am looking for that Tropicana with the yellow and green variegation. They look so cheerful! I like your Pink Sunburst too as well as the one in the last photo!
    Yours all look very happy and healthy! I am keeping mine in pots too as I left my nice purple leaf and some variegateds in the ground last year and they did not come back. They usually do.
    Thanks for sharing!

    I love the 1st!!!Cleopatra is so vibrant in it's colors wow!!!

    It looks like the Canna's like ME. Because they sure grow a lot. I just really have to get back into that one flowerbed and did Stuttgardt out. It is NOT doing good so I will follow Kristy's advice.

    Thanks for sharing your beauties

    Thank you all for looking at my one tropical love. I seem to be a failure with the Plumeria, and my Brugs have not been doing anything this year. So the cannas have moved my spirits up this summer.

    Luv, yes that is Stuttgart. I hear a lot of people say the leaves get lots of brown. I grow mine in bog conditions the more water the better. In the pot no drainage I fill it halfway with soil then fill with water at all times, morning sun, afternoon and evening shade it seems to love it. The other one in I brought as Bengel Tiger. I do not have Tropicanna Gold yet. LOL

    Elizabeth, the second picture, White and green is Stuttgart and the green and yellow is Bengel Tiger.

    Lucy, Cleopatra has a nice flower. But it does remind me of a clown the flower is yellow and red then you have the crazy leavess that are green and purple. LOL

    siam, a compliment from you is much appreciated. Stuttgart is a beauty. I do not think pictures does it justice. When I have company over they always run to that canna.
