Notes
'Toucan Scarlet' canna (Canna hybrida 'Toucan Scarlet') is an annual for borders, containers, accents, and pollinator 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 dry to wet soil of most types. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. Hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees visit the summer blooms.
Pairs well with Montbretia, Coneflower, and Lemongrass.
