Canna (or Canna lily, although not a true lily) is a genus of nineteen species of flowering plants. The closest living relations to cannas are the other plant families of the order Zingiberales, that is the gingers, bananas, marantas, heliconias, strelitzias, etc.
Canna is the only genus in the family Cannaceae. Such a family has almost universally been recognized by taxonomists. The APG II system of 2003 (unchanged from the APG system, 1998) also recognizes the family, and assigns it to the order Zingiberales in the clade commelinids, in the monocots.
The species have large, attractive foliage and horticulturists have turned it into a large-flowered and bright garden plant. In addition, it is one of the world's richest starch sources, and is an agricultural plant.

Although a plant of the tropics, most cultivars have been developed in temperate climates and are easy to grow in most countries of the world as long as they can enjoy at least 6–8 hours average sunlight during the summer. See the Canna cultivar gallery for photographs of Canna cultivars.
The name Canna originates from the Celtic word for a cane or reed.

Types of Canna Lilies


  1. Dwarf Cannas

    • This group of canna lilies are distinguished by a height not exceeding 16 inches. With enchanting names like "Happy," "Grumpy" and "Doc," these dwarfs are available in many bright colors including variations of pink, red, yellow and orange. Foliage is typically green, and these smaller cultivars are best suited closest to the outer edges of beds where they can be enjoyed.

    Mid-height Cannas

    • Well-suited for containers, 2-foot-tall mid-height canna lilies provide texture, color and height in patio and deck container gardens. In beds, 3-foot growth is expected. Chinese coral, shell pink and porcelain rose are just a few colors indicating names of these cultivars. "Stadt Fellbach" provides gold-orange blooms while yellow blooms splotched with red are the hallmark of "Tiger Lily."

    Tall Cannas

    • Available since the 1950s when canna lilies were wildly popular as the centerpiece of often circular landscape beds, the "opera series" presents 4-foot-tall specimens in a wide variety of bloom shades. Other tall cultivars grow from 3 to 6 feet tall and include foliage of varied hues. "Orange Hubert," "Red King Hubert" and "Wyoming" offer bronze foliage, while "The Ambassador" has striking deep-red leaves.
