Canna is a genus of flowering plants in the family Cannaceae, known for their large, tropical-looking leaves and vibrant flowers. These plants are native to the Americas and are often grown in gardens for their ornamental value. They thrive in warm climates and can reach heights of up to 10 feet, making them a popular choice for creating lush landscapes. Canna plants are also notable for their rhizomes, which are underground stems that can be divided and replanted. The flowers come in various colors, including red, orange, and yellow, attracting pollinators like hummingbirds and butterflies. They are often used in landscaping and can be grown in containers or directly in the ground.
