Fresh White Blooms Occasionally Freckled with Red!
Canna Tropical White
Blooms 3 months after sowing!
Tropical foliage and huge 3 to 4-inch flowers!
It's what we all want in a Canna -- oversized blooms on undersized plants! Tropical White has the same large blooms found on Giant Cannas, but on a lush 2 1/2-foot plant compact enough to grow in a container! And it blooms in just 90 days from seed -- quick, economical, and so beautiful.
The bright white blooms, occasionally freckled with red, blooms begin in midsummer and continue until frost, for year after year of enjoyment. Space 18 inches apart in full sun and well-drained soil amended with organic matter. Packet is 5 seeds.

Beautiful but short
Had no problems germinating these seeds and although it took a little longer getting them established than advertised, that's probably got more to do with my difficulty in finding a spot they liked. I have red cannas that are over 6 feet tall, and these make a great contrast. Overall, a nice little trouble-free plant once you find a good spot.
