Canna 'australia' And Other Great Red Flowered Canna Lilies Below is a description of the best red flowered Canna Lilies including the incredibly popular Canna Australia. Canna 'Australia': (syn: Canna 'Feuerzauber') We have grown a lot of purple-foliaged cannas but never anything like this. The deep burgundy-black foliage has a satin-like sheen, and the intense color holds superbly during the summer heat. The foliage rises to 4-5', topped with a magnificent display of large, shocking red flowers...a true stunner. Thanks to canna guru Johnnie Johnson for sharing this coveted gem he obtained from New Zealand. (Sun to Part Sun, Zone 7b-10, Ht 60”) Canna ‘Chocolate Cherry': Large, clear red blooms on chocolate brown leaves. Medium Height. (Ht 48”) Canna 'Cleopatra': I couldn't believe my eyes when they fell upon this canna at the Kunming Botanic Garden in China. Large purple blotches wove their way through the green leaves and into the flower stalks. If the flowers came from the purple side, they were red...from the green side of the leaf, they were yellow...sometimes from both...you get the picture. This unstable and highly variable chimera is actually an old but hard-to-find cultivar called Canna 'Cleopatra'. We think it is time for a reintroduction of this fascinating attention-getter. Remove all solid green shoots to maintain the pattern. (Sun to Part Sun, Zone 7b-10, Ht 50”) Canna 'Durban': This is one of the new wave of variegated leaf cannas. The reddish purple leaf is dramatically striped with yellow veins. In addition to the dramatic foliage, the plant is topped from late spring through late summer with stalks of large brilliant scarlet-red flowers for a combination that would make even the most flamboyant designer blush. Canna 'Durban' makes a great garden plant but does not multiply as fast as the other variegated leaf types. Some people say it is the same as ‘Phasion' but others argue that it is not. (Sun, Zone 7b-10 guessing, Ht 50”) Canna 'Ehemanni': This selection of Canna iridiflora, first introduced in 1863, is quite different from other cannas in the trade. The large, cherry-red flowers on the 8-foot giant are held on arching pendulous spikes. We have found this to be a great, back-of-the-border choice due to its size, color, and floriferousness. Canna 'Ehemanni' has long been a crowd favorite at open house. (Sun, Zone 7b-10, Ht 96”) Canna indica 'Red Stripe': (poss. syn: Canna indica 'Purpurea') We have been growing Canna 'Red Stripe' in our test garden for a number of years, as visitors begged us to begin propagation. The 8' tall, thick stalks are home to large (nearly 2' long) leaves of purple with a dramatically contrasting green pattern between the veins. Topping, but not distracting from, the great bold foliage are stalks of small, brilliant red flowers...a can't-miss addition to the border! (Sun, Zone 7b-10, Ht 96”) Canna 'Musafolia': (Banana Canna Lily): If you are into the tropical look, don't miss growing the gigantic banana canna. Canna 'Musafolia' has a clouded origin (possibly related to Canna 'Edulis'), but what we do know is that it is one heck of a structural element in the garden. The 12-14' tall stalks are home to extremely large, banana-like leaves...each green with a purple-red border. While Canna 'Musafolia' rarely flowers, the flowers produced are small, red, and pale in size compared to the foliage. (Sun, Zone 7b-10, Ht 144”) Canna ‘Red Futurity': Scarlet flowers on Brugundy-plum foliage. (Ht. 48”) Canna ‘Red Wine': This is a Kent Kelly hybrid with wine-red flowers on burgundy foliage. Medium height. Canna 'Reine Charlotte': (aka: Canna 'Königin Charlotte'): This deliciously tacky canna hybrid from the late 1800s is still one of our favorites. The small, brilliant red flowers, outlined with a wide band of bright yellow are held atop 4' tall stalks throughout the summer months...a real showstopper. (Sun, Zone 7b-10, Ht 48”) Canna ‘Rose Futurity': Rose-colored flowers on Brugundy-plum foliage. (Ht. 48”) Canna 'Thai Rainbow': For something truly unique, we are pleased to introduce Canna 'Thai Rainbow', which offers a unique leaf variegation pattern (reportedly radiation induced). Canna 'Thai Rainbow' forms a 6' tall, rapidly multiplying clump of narrow leaves that are banded green and cream with a purple flush that is particularly evident on the leaf edges. The clumps are topped with small but bright red-orange flowers throughout the summer...looks and grows like a variegated form of Canna 'Intrigue'. (Sun to Part Sun, Zone 7b-10 at least, Ht 72”) Canna 'Tropicanna Black' PPAF: (syn: Canna 'Lon01'): This new canna was introduced without a valid cultivar name...sorry guys. 'Lon01' isn't valid, so we have renamed it Canna 'Tropicanna Black'. Understanding that cultivar names should be real words must be harder than I thought. Canna 'Tropicanna Black' is the latest addition to the splendid black foliage canna selections. The shiny dark purple leaves, which are wider but not as dark as Canna 'Australia', make a nice 4' tall clump, topped with stalks of bright vermillion-red flowers from early summer until fall. (Sun, Zone 7b-10, Ht 48”) Canna 'Valentine': Grab your sunglasses, 'cause you've never seen a color this bright. I've grown lots of red cannas but never anything like this. Unlike most of the orange-red flowers, Canna 'Valentine' boasts eye-popping flowers that are more of a true bluish red than anything else on the market. Because of its dwarf size, Canna 'Valentine' makes a perfect attention-getter, both in containers and in the garden. (Sun, Zone 7b-10, Ht 30”) Canna ‘Wine and Roses': Rose colored blooms and burgundy leaves. If you like red, then Canna Australia and the others will
