i feel Canna is a plant that has been neglected by many gardeners over the years. Extremely adaptable to our environment they come in various colours / sizes and multiply rapidly. Notable among the large varieties are President, Lucifer and Cleopatra varieties. If grown in a mass bed they give a terrific display and tend to bloom atleast 2-3 times in a year.

I agree it is under utilized. One problem is that the foliage burns and becomes ugly in the dry summer.

Dwarf Canna F 1 Tropical Series grown by seed are 8 inches tall and consist of 6 colours. Colours not shown are Red and Yellow.

Burning of foliage is not a problem. Even if the foliage gets burned out they are replaced by new offshoots and bloom periodically at least twice or thrice in an year.

Khurram Canna is my most favorite.it adds a tropical touch to any garden.Lucifer is so special.mine are in full bloom.Khurram sb plant the F-1 series in filtered sun to avoid sun burn.Crinum,spider lilly,Angels trumpet,cannas all are in bloom but i am so busy that i am not able to even take a shoot.

looking great Khurram and nice variety, my favourite are Lucifer and Cleopatra.

A new picture of Canna President along with Cleopatra and an unknown variety. Those planning to make a Canna border may consider putting Canna Cleopatra at the back, President in the middle and Canna Dwarf Tropical series F1 at the front.

You have earlier mentioned the height of Canna Dwarf Tropical series F1; what about the others to be planted in the rear & middle?
Also, what is the best time to plant these?

very beautiful display. president canna is very attractive. in mass display they will create a heart stopping display as you described.

Lushhhh! MaShaAllah. I have only seen same old purplish color.
