Botanical Profile

Culture & Drama

This rhizomatous perennial grows 4–6 feet tall. The large, paddle-shaped leaves are dramatically striped lengthwise in white and green. The flowers are typical canna—orange, irregular, clustered at the top. It thrives in full sun, rich, consistently moist soil (even boggy).

Hardy in zones 7–10 (mulch heavily in 7). In colder zones, lift rhizomes after frost and store cool/dry. The variegation is stable but may revert—remove solid green shoots. A bold, architectural plant for pond edges, rain gardens, and large containers. The foliage alone is worth growing.
