'America' canna (Canna 'America') is a bulb for borders, containers, and accents. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to wet, loamy or clay soil. Its orient-red flowers sit above brown leaves. Hummingbirds visit the blooms, and it flowers in early to late summer.
