What's Blooming Now - Daisy Delite Canna 04/22/2011



Daisy Delites grow to about 3 feet tall.





This is a woodland plant. It grows in shade. The flowers, although small, are bright yellow and red. They die back in the winter and pop right out in the early spring, way before the gingers that grow along side them. The thing I find most attractive about this canna, though, is the seed pod. It is so pretty. It starts out bumpy and green, very sensual looking. Then it dries and turns hard and brown and four black seeds drop to the ground. New cannas will sprout from the seeds.
