Cleopatra Canna Lily
Canna ‘Cleopatra’
Cleopatra Canna Lily is a fascinating and variable variety that adds an element of surprise to the garden. On a single plant, you can find leaves that are solid green, solid bronze-purple, or a stunning mix of both in irregular splashes and stripes. The flower spikes are equally charming, bearing a mix of yellow, orange, and red blooms, sometimes with speckles. This genetic instability creates a unique, multi-colored effect, making each plant a one-of-a-kind conversation piece.
