Topic: Canna (plant)


  
  Canna (plant) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Canna (Canna or Canna lily although not a true lily) is a genus of nineteen species of flowering plants, the only genus in the family Cannaceae.
Cannas became very popular in Victorian times as a garden plant and were grown widely in France, Germany, Hungary, India, Italy, the United Kingdom, and the USA and have recently experienced a renewed interest and revival in popularity.
Cannas are largely free of pests but the plants sometimes fall victim to Canna leaf rollers, or Brazilian skippers, the larval stage of a butterfly that cuts the leaves and rolls them over to live inside while pupating (the lesser canna leaf roller will sew the leaves shut before they can unfurl).
