Notes
'Eureka' canna (Canna hybrida 'Eureka') is an annual for borders, containers, accents, and rain gardens. It is typically grown as an annual. Frost will kill it, so set it out only after the last frost in spring. This plant likes full or part sun and average to wet soil of most types. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. It grows 47 to 59 inches tall and draws hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees.
Pairs well with Montbretia, Red-hot poker, Coneflower, and Lemongrass.
