Notes
'South Pacific Orange' canna (Canna hybrida 'South Pacific Orange') is a perennial for borders, containers, accents, and privacy screens. 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. Butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees visit the orange blooms in summer and again in autumn.
