Notes
'Mactro' Indian shot (Canna indica 'Mactro') is a bulb for borders, containers, and pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 8, or down to 10°F (-12°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It forms a clumping habit and blooms in summer and again in autumn. Butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and birds visit the flowers. Neil MacCormick bred it.
