Main varieties of canna

Red Canna

This variety of canna is more common. As its name suggests, the flowers of this type of canna are red and solitary.

Bracts ovate, green, about 1.2 cm long; sepals 3, lanceolate, about 1 cm long, green and sometimes dyed red; corolla tube less than 1 cm long, corolla lobes lanceolate, 3-3.5 cm long, green or red; outer whorl of 3-2 reduced stamens, bright red.

However, the flowers of this red canna are relatively small, and its main ornamental value lies in its leaves.

Canna indica

Unlike the common red-flowered canna, the corolla and stamens of this canna have degenerated into apricot yellow.

The inflorescence is solitary, racemose, and relatively loose, with relatively few flowers and very few bracts on each plant.

Unlike the red canna, the yellow canna has large, soft flowers that curve downward, are tubular at the bottom, light yellow in color, and have a round lip.

Bicolor Mandarin Duck Canna

This variety is a rare treasure in the canna genus, introduced from South America. It got its name because of the two colors of flowers, bright red and five-star bright yellow, that compete with each other on the same flower stem. What makes it even more ornamental is that the petals are half red and half yellow, with different colors on the same plant.

What’s even more special is that among the two colors of petals, the red petals are dotted with bright yellow stars, and the five-star yellow petals are decorated with bright red spots. You are in me and I am in you, and we set off each other.

The plant of the bicolor canna is relatively short, with dense leaf nodes and large, dark green leaves. It will bud and bloom when it has four leaves.

Bicolor Canna is an excellent potted plant with a wide planting range. Most people who grow it choose this variety. It is also suitable for planting in urban areas, tourist attractions, living areas, parks and green belts, and has great ornamental value.
