The President Canna Lily is a classic variety with long-lasting red-orange blooms standing above lush foliage. This variety has graced the White House Garden for years. From mid-summer through frost, watch for visiting hummingbirds, which adore the nectar-rich flowers. Large, lance-shaped foliage makes a bold impact in the garden. Plant in masses at the back of borders, or in containers to enhance outdoor living spaces. 

The President Canna is know for its extremely vibrant and large red blooms, which stand atop stems from lush, green leaves. Growing not quite as tall as some of the other cannas, the President is a good choice for those who want the "tropical" look but maybe don't have quite as much space. These cannas will do well any moist garden or container in the full sun. Hummingbirds like these!
