Notes
'Rosemond Coles' canna (Canna hybrida 'Rosemond Coles') is a perennial for borders, containers, and accents. It is hardy to USDA zone 8, or down to 10°F (-12°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to wet soil of most types. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. It grows in a clump and blooms in summer and again in autumn. Butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and birds visit the flowers.
Pairs well with Montbretia, Red-hot poker, and Coneflower.
