| Canna Lily 'Tropicanna'
Canna x generalis
Hybridized by Potgieter, 1998
Additional info: (PP10569; Tropicanna™ series, aka Phaison, Orange Durban, Tropicanna®)
This plant is a bold statement in a garden. It gets quite tall. Very easy to care for and quickly multiplies.

| Hi Kell,
My name is Kell.
I was directed to this thread
because I found some canna roots at a local tip.
And I wanted to know what they were.
Thank you for your help.

| I would think you would have to upload it just like you did this one. You can keep some in your Garden Journal I think but I do not think you can upload from there, but maybe you can. It is a lovely picture and your cannas are going to be gorgeous. Your yard looks pretty special! Does your horse try to eat any of your plants? |

| There is a barbed-wire fence 2 mtrs or 6 ft.
away from the garden.
My daughters horse is fed very well every day.
So she doesn’t need to steal my plants.
I`m going to get some of the green cannas from our local BUNNINGS.

| What zone are you in, Ginger? I love amaryllis. In fact I was potting some up today.
Here cannas spread so fast I hate to plant them in the gorund. Of course my yard is so small and yours looks huge.
I would love to see all your pictures as your garden blooms. |

| We dont have zones here.
I am 500 mls. south of the tropic of Capricorn.
I guess you would call that the tropics. We do any ways.
I will post lots of pics of my garden.
I have started growing tomatoes UP SIDE DOWN.
They hang out of pots at the bottom? |

| Thank you so much Snowrose! I love this canna. Unfortunately there is a terrible virus, Canna Yellow Mottle virus, all over the world attacking canna and it ruins their looks. So I have stopped bringing any new ones into my yard. It is hightly contagious.

Kell (I keep wanting to call you Ginger, LOL), I just saw this huge display of this canna in a picture Rann posted. I thought you would enjoy seeing it.

I would love to see your upside down tomatoes. I grew over 40 kinds this last summer, all right side up! LOL |

| Thank you Kell, for pointing me in the direction of the hyperlink.
But because I am not a paid subscriber. I cant view this PIC.
This issue may change in the future.
As a born DANSKER I would have liked to see & read that.
That is disturbing about the 'Canna Yellow Mottle virus'
What does it actualy do to the plants? |
