      Tropical Beauty  Spectacular, tropical-looking summer bulbs! Bold colours



              and impressive stature make cannas both focal points
              and stylish accents wherever they’re planted. Both
              container-friendly dwarf varieties (40 to 60 cm high)
              and standard tall varieties (up to 2 metres tall) bloom
              summer-long, from July to the first frost. Canna
              flowers look something like a cross between an iris
              and an over-sized lily and boast an extraordinary range
              of reds, pinks, orange, yellow and creamy-whites. Leaves
              are paddle-shaped and wrap around flower stems in dramatic
              ruffles. Foliage colours range from green to maroon to bronze,
              in solid or variegated patterns. Although often grown
              as annuals, you can lift your Canna bulbs in the fall        'Cleopatra' Canna
              and store them inside during the winter.
