Canna

[aykhan]

Khan saheb how will Cannas do in full shade? I think the foliage is beautiful enough without the flowers. In full or even partial sun they always burn leaves and become an unpleasant site.

Not in full shade Dr sb.plant them in a partial shade which receives full sun in early morning or when the after noon is past.The Tropical flower profusely Khan sb.

Umar khan I would highly recommend growing the intermediate canna president at the back of the border. white canna of tropical series on front of president canna and then rest of the other colours in the tropical series. Canna president looks striking when planted mass in soil bed

Yes Khuram sb Cannas look beautiful in mass plantings.I even like to plant other annuals in mass plantings in separate colors.I don,t know but i don,t like mixed colors.

[Kaleem]

I have this unknown variety with extra ordinary large flower, it looks beautiful in mass planting.

This is possibly the most beautiful & extraordinary canna i have ever seen. I believe that that it may be Canna Indica "Madiera" or Canna "Madame Crozy". The picture above bears more resemblance to Canna Madeira. It's good to have you back in the forum after a long time.

Below are some photos of Canna Madeira

Name of exquisite Canna posted by Kaleem sahib is actually Antoine Crozy. I was also able to discover the name of some canna varieties which i had posted earlier whose pictures are being affixed again with their actual names. Turns out these Cannas are historical varieties introduced in the 19th century in France and Germany.

There are so many beautiful varieties of Canna available. They need vey little attention but are not suited for a small garden because they multiply so fast.
