Canna
‘Velvet Red Africa’
Our Canna program starts with strong genetics and is paired with clean tissue culture to produce superior canna liners. Cannas are a fantastic butterfly and hummingbird attractor. Heat tolerant once established and tough. Deer and rabbit resistant. The large foliage is great planted en masse or by the poolside for a tropical effect and does well in containers too. 'Red Velvet Africa' has bronze to purple foliage and fiery red flowers all summer into fall.
