Monrovia Tropicanna Gold Canna

This variety is excellent for containers. Its upright growth habit and striking foliage make it a perfect focal point for large patio pots, provided you use a container with good drainage.

Tropicanna Gold Canna is hardy in zones 7-11. If you live in a colder climate, you will need to dig up the rhizomes in the fall and store them indoors over the winter, or treat the plant as an annual.

It performs best in full sun, which helps maintain the vibrancy of its gold-striped foliage and encourages consistent blooming. It can tolerate light shade, but you may see fewer flowers and less intense leaf variegation.

Yes, this Canna is generally deer resistant. While no plant is completely deer-proof, the texture and taste of this variety are typically unappealing to deer, making it a safer choice for gardens where wildlife is a concern.

You can expect this Canna to reach a height of 4 to 5 feet. Its narrow 18-inch width makes it a great choice for adding vertical height to garden beds without taking up too much horizontal space.
