Khan Saheb I am interested in Canna no more than 3-4 feet. Is there any guarantee that these kind of cultivars are available here? Please review these two websites below. They mention the cannas by height also. I would much pref purchasing cheaply here in Pakistan so if you have any guidance please let me know. I want to plant them in a bed along with Louisiana Iris.

Dr they are usually sold as potted plants.If you can find seeds in original Takii seed packing then its ok other wise don,t go for seeds in local packets.purchase it as potted plants.if you do not find it at Lahore then i,l send you some potted plants.all six colors are available here at Islamabad.
