Canna Cleopatra

admin — Wed, 20 Apr 2022 12:47:59 +0000

Canna species are native to semi-tropical and tropical parts of North and South America. Their native range extends from South Carolina (Canna flaccida) south to Argentina and includes the Caribbean islands. In their native habitat, Canna live in damp shady locations along the margins of rivers and lakes. Canna are valuable as a food source in certain cultures because their rhizomes contain a high quality starch. The primary species used for food production is Canna indica. The starch (commonly called achira) is used in Vietnam to make high quality "cellophane" noodles. In the modern era of agriculture, canna is only rarely used as a primary food source, as it has been replaced by more nutritious and higher yielding crops such as potatoes and corn. Canna have been cultivated as a food crop for over 4000 years in Central and South America. A multi-colored gem of a flower, Canna Lily Cleopatra blooms have streaks, speckles and blocks of vivid color for a truly unique and textural bloom! These gorgeous semi-dwarf Canna Lilies are out to make a statement, just like the famous queen of the Nile: Cleopatra! Looking almost as though they were on fire, this canna's blooms are yellow mixed with a speckles of bronze red. Growing 36-48" tall, this plant loves the sun and will bloom July through September.
