'Russian Red' Indian shot (Canna indica 'Russian Red') is a bulb for borders, containers, and cottage 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 grows about 65 inches tall in a clumping form. Butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees visit the blooms, and birds stop by too.
