Notes
'Cleopatra' canna (Canna 'Cleopatra') is a perennial for borders, containers, and accents. It is hardy to USDA zone 7, or down to 0°F (-18°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to wet soil of most types. Each flower is different, with lemon-yellow and red solids, stripes, and sprinkles. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. Hummingbirds visit the blooms from summer to frost.
Pairs well with Fountain grass, Karl Foerster feather reed grass, and Purple loosestrife.
