'Aphrodite' canna (Canna 'Aphrodite') 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. It has orange-red flowers with uneven yellow edges and green leaves. Hummingbirds visit the blooms, and the plant also tolerates drought and salt.
