This is a nice ornamental Canna native to southern Belize and other parts of Central America. A stunning plant with large tropical-looking green leaves and red flowers. Used as a landscape item, it will make a nice focal point to give any patio or courtyard a taste of the tropics.
These beauties grow to 6 feet tall and are hardy in USDA zones 8-11. In other zones, the canna bulbs can be dug up after the first frost in the fall, and stored in paper bags over the winter in a cool place until ready to plant again the following year.
