Stuttgart Canna (Canna ‘Stuttgart’)

Bold variegated foliage, the fine-textured Stuttgart Canna Lily (Canna ‘Stuttgart’) is a gorgeous garden beauty with broad, pointed leaves splashed, streaked and striped light and dark green mixed with creamy white! Atop vertical stems sit the smaller yet just as striking bright orange to red ombre blooms that are a Hummingbird and bee favorite! The petals fade to almost yellow on the tips with the red at the base of each curly trumpet-shaped bloom!

Those smaller blooms will still have an incredible impact, especially when planted in drifts and rows to further highlight the tall flower spikes and those incredible variegated leaves even further! Naturalizing in warm growing zones and lighting up container and garden beds alike, the Canna Lily is a vibrant beacon in any sunny location!

Variegated Stuttgart Canna Lilies grow from fibrous rhizomes and they grow fast! These flamboyant blooms flower all summer! Hardy outdoors year-round in USDA growing zones 8 through 11 but can be enjoyed as either annual accents in all growing zones. Canna can also be lifted and stored for the winter in a frost-free location in all northern climates.

Planting and Application:

These variegated foliage ornamentals look great in drifts, rows and groupings in any sunny garden bed or border. Their upright, space-saving nature lights up borders and as backdrops to garden beds. Any sunny location gains a specimen focal point, annual accents, or en masse spectacle!

It is also a good idea to ensure that Canna has a 3-4 inch layer of arborist mulch over the surface. Provide regular fertilizer and deadhead when blooming is done.
