Canna leaf with prominent yellow ribs
 

Canna

Cannas are all about color. Their leaves sport various shades of green and bronze, as well as variegation, and flowers bloom in shades of yellow, red, orange, and fuchsia. Standard cannas grow 4 to 10 feet tall. Or try dwarf varieties, which reach a mature height of just 1 to 2 feet and are excellent choices for containers. These tender perennials need to be dug in the fall and replanted in spring.
