Canna Durban
Vibrant Durban Canna Lily in Bloom
This new eye-catching canna displays a fabulous mix of bronze and orange variegated foliage with bright orange flowers. Durban grows 3-4' tall so is excellent for landscape or pots. To ensure your garden has bright pink focal points earlier in the season, pair these late-summer bloomers with the asiatic lily rozalynn.
Canna can be planted anytime of year in southern zones as long as the soil temperature is between 55 and 65 degrees F. Canna thrive in full sun and produce lush green and bronze foliage with vibrant and colorful blooms. Medium canna are sturdy plants, growing 3 to 4 feet tall without requiring staking. Plant in a sunny location in moist, fertile soil. Dig after the first frost in zones 3-7, mulch before heavy frost in zones 8-10.
