Cannova Canna Lily
Best tropical-style bloomer for gardeners seeking low-maintenance, hummingbird-friendly container plants.
This is the rare tropical showstopper that actually thrives in northern gardens. While you will have to dig up the rhizomes before the first frost in colder zones, the trade-off is a season of vibrant, hummingbird-attracting blooms that look just as good in a patio pot as they do by the water.
