Canna, often referred to as canna lilies, is a genus of around 10 species of flowering plants native to tropical and subtropical regions of the Americas. Despite the common name, they are not true lilies but belong to the Cannaceae family. The flowers are vibrant, often coming in shades of red, orange, yellow, pink, or a combination of colors.

Cannas are perennial plants known for their bold, tropical-like foliage and large, vibrant blooms. Depending on the variety, they can reach heights ranging from 1.5 to 8 feet, making them perfect for adding height and structure in the garden.
