Incredible color for your containers and sunny borders!

Bring a taste of the tropics to your garden! Canna blooms will catch the eye of every passerby, but as often as not, these gorgeous tropical plants are grown for their stunning foliage as much as for their flowers. 'Cleopatra' is an unusual canna that produces large, eye catching yellow flowers covered in red spots. They can even produce red flowers or blooms bearing a combination of both colors. The vibrant blooms stand out against the large, lush leaves which may be dark green to chocolate or a combination of both. Since its introduction in 1895 'Cleopatra' has been a popular canna with its extraordinary combinations of color. Blooming form mid summer to fall it is perfect for the sunny border, large containers, or planted in mass in your garden beds. Butterflies and hummingbirds love them and they'll be sure to fill your landscape with color wherever you plant them.

Note: These bulbs are dry cooled to ensure the highest industry standards. Each bulb variety has a particular start time in order to meet specific cooling requirements so that when growers receive the bulbs they are ready for an 8 week pot chilling process and growers do not have to endure a cooling process themselves.

Butterflies like a lot of sunlight, so locate your garden in a sunny area.
If you live in a windy location, plant your butterfly-attracting plants near a building, fence, or hedge to protect them.
Plant a variety of nectar-rich plants, as well as shrubs and evergreens for shelter.
Since many butterflies and native flowering plants have co-evolved, try to put in some that are native to your area. The Lady Bird Johnson Wildlife Center provides lists of plants native to states and regions.
Certain colors are particularly attracting to butterflies – red, yellow, pink, purple, or orange blooms that are clustered or flat-topped, with a short flower tubes are especially attractive to adult butterflies.
Avoid using pesticides, especially around nectar-producing plants.
Provide a shallow source of water – try a birdbath with pebbles lining the bowl.
Place a rock in a sunny spot for butterfly basking and resting.
Create a "puddling area" by digging a shallow hole filled with compost or manure where rainwater will collect and release essential salts and minerals.
If you want butterflies to breed in your garden, put in some caterpillar food plants, such as parsley, milkweeds, asters, thistles, violets, clover, grasses, and Queen Anne’s Lace.
Since butterflies need nectar throughout the entire adult phase of their lives, try to create a design that will allow for a continuous bloom – when one stops blooming, another starts.
