Notes
'Mrs Kate Gray' canna (Canna 'Mrs Kate Gray') 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. The flowers are reddish-orange with darker marking and are sometimes lightly edged with yellow. Hummingbirds visit the blooms, and the green leaves add bold texture.
Pairs well with Swamp milkweed, Karl Foerster feather reed grass, and Virginia sweetspire.
