This striking new variety of canna features vivid, orange-yellow flowers with dark orange-speckled throats. Expect this vibrant plant to reach 4-5 feet at maturity, with flowers about one foot above the foliage. In addition to being beautiful and relatively easy-care, this stunning canna is also virtually deer-proof.
Most cannas are hybrids, but Tropicanna Gold is a direct descendent of only C. indica, a South American native known as Indian Shot.

Indica - the most common pure canna species - is found naturalized in older communities along the warm Gulf Coast, including New Orleans and St. Augustine.
The unique gold and green striped foliage and vivid golden flowers make Tropicanna Gold a perfect choice for a full sun location, though it will also tolerate partial shade. This dense, clump-forming plant with horizontal, subterranean rhizomes achieves its full height and glory within one season. |
