Canna Lily 'Lucifer': Fiery Blooms for the Summer Garden

Canna Lily 'Lucifer' (Canna × generalis 'Lucifer') ignites the garden with its intense, fiery red flowers and lush green foliage. A member of the Cannaceae family, this robust perennial grows 4 to 5 feet tall, making a bold statement in beds, borders, or large containers.

The blooms appear from mid-summer through fall, attracting hummingbirds and pollinators. Its broad, banana-like leaves add a tropical texture even when the plant is not flowering. 'Lucifer' prefers full sun and consistently moist, fertile soil. In zones colder than USDA 7, lift the rhizomes after frost and store them in a cool, dry place for winter.
