Providing dramatic bold texture and striking color in the garden, the Tropicanna Black Canna Lily is a hardy perennial forming a corn-like clump 5 to 6 feet tall with large, upward-facing, deep blackish chocolate-purple leaves. During the summer the foliage is compemented by contrasting brilliant red, exotic, lily-like flowers that transition to equally brilliant orange as they age. Cold hardy to USDA Zone 7a (0F), Tropicanna Black is sure to add a lush tropical look and feel to garden beds or in containers that can be situated on or around patios, swimming pools and other outdoor sitting and living spaces. In Zones north of 8a, containers can be brought indoors during winter and moved back outside in spring. An easy-to-grow perennial plant that you and the butterflies and hummingbirds will enjoy throughout the season.

Growing 5 to 6 feet tall and equally as wide over time, the Tropicanna Black Canna Lily is ideal for use as an accent or in groupings or rows in the sunny landscape or perennial borders. Also excellent as a solo or centerpiece in container gardens, which can be overwintered indoors in locations north of USDA Zone 8a. A great choice as a background in perennial gardens or flowerbeds. Looks really nice around garden ponds, swimming pools and other water features. A fine addition to tropical look gardens, perennial gardens, black or red theme gardens, and hummingbird gardens.
