Notes
'Pretoria' canna (Canna 'Pretoria') is a perennial for borders, containers, accents, and rain gardens. It is typically grown as an annual. It is tender to cold, and the first hard frost will kill it. This plant likes full or part sun and average to wet soil of most types. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. It blooms in summer and again in autumn, and butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees visit the flowers.
Pairs well with Mexican petunia, Lemon Grass lemongrass, and Labyrinth dahlia.
