Description
Common Name: Canna Lily, ‘Wyoming’
Beautiful purple bronze leaves highlight burnt orange flowers that are boasted above the leaves. Wyoming is a eye catcher when planted in a container or in the garden. Good deer resistance, they do not like to eat the leaves.
Ideal for water gardens, ponds and bogs. They thrive near water and in wet boggy areas where other plants will not grow. Cannas bloom in the summer through till the fall.

Flower/Foliage Description: Glowing orange flowers top richly coloured purple-bronze foliage. From mid-summer through frost, hummingbirds will be drawn to the nectar-rich flowers. The upright, lanceolate foliage offers a splash of rich hues and a bold presence.
Light Requirement : Full Sun to Partial Shade. Bloom best in full sun.
Soil Type: It requires an evenly moist well-drained soil for optimal growth, but will die in standing water. It is not particular as to soil pH, but grows best in rich soils.
Hardiness Zones: 4,5,6,7,8
Attributes: Deer Resistant, Attracts Bees, Attracts Butterflies, Attracts Hummingbirds
Care: Occasional Care, Remove flower stalks when they have finished blooming.
Bulbs: Before the first frost bulbs should be removed from the ground, cleaned off, and stored indoors in a dry area. The bulbs can be replanted outdoors in spring, after the ground warms to 50 degrees or more or started inside early. If starting inside do this around early April. Water sparingly until sings of life start. I find it useful to place the root in a bag of lightly moist potting soil and place this bag on a south facing windowsill. Cannas love heat so this method works well and is very quick.
