Canna Lily 'Musifolia', Canna 'Musaefolia, Banana Canna
Gigantic and incredibly architectural, award-winning Canna ‘Musifolia’ boasts enormous, dark green, banana leaves, up to 3 ft. long (90 cm), flushed with bronze on the midribs and margins and adorned with red veining and red stems. Blooming from mid-summer to fall, small orange-red flowers with slender recurved petals, are produced atop erect flowering stalks. However, this impressive canna lily is shy flowering except in warm climates with long growing seasons. But who needs them anyway? Mostly grown for its lush and dramatic foliage, this canna lily is truly remarkable and stands out in the landscape. Perfect for a tall and narrow summer screen.
