The flowers are pretty but I grow it for it's beautiful leaves. | | Positive | WillowWasp | On Jul 2, 2009, WillowWasp from Jones Creek, TX (Zone 9a) wrote: Another Canna beauty with it's striking leaves and bright flowers. Can't be beat, this one is my favorite of all the colored leaved Canna's | | Neutral | uglybug | On Jun 17, 2007, uglybug from Foley, AL wrote: My canna lily 'Pretoria'has beautiful flowers--when it flowers. I am a beginner with this plant, and after the orange flowers dry up and drop off, there is left a ball-shaped, what I call a "seed pod" below where the flower grew.
The plant is not doing very well. It is in full sun and I keep it well watered. | | Positive | Lhouselover | On Apr 27, 2007, Lhouselover from Arley, AL (Zone 7a) wrote: I love cannas and this is my first year for this and I can't wait for it grow and start blooming for me... | | Positive | sladeofsky | On May 19, 2006, sladeofsky from Louisville, KY (Zone 6b) wrote: I've had this plant undisturbed in the same spot for five years in zone 6. It has flourished and multiplied each year. | | Positive | BUFFY690 | On May 19, 2005, BUFFY690 from Prosperity, SC (Zone 7b) wrote: This is a focal canna in my collection, I love these as a little something different | | Positive | aking1a | On Sep 19, 2003, aking1a from Baton Rouge, LA (Zone 8b) wrote: In Baton Rouge, leaf rollers are a fierce competitor to cannas in general. I have found that Bengal Tiger is at least more resistant to leaf rollers. All of my other cannas look pretty sad this year even with a vigorous systemic bug attack on my part. Bengal Tiger still sports great foliage and it has been blooming all thru late spring to early fall. It also spreads fairly quickly compared to most other cannas. | | Positive | Abutilon | On Feb 16, 2003, Abutilon from Coal Center, PA (Zone 6a) wrote: Bengal Tiger (aka Pretoria) is one of the very best variegated foliage cannas. Gorgeous blooms, but sometimes the flowers are cut off so they don't distract from the foliage.
One of my very first cannas ..and will always be a favourite. Easy to grow and always lovely. Just can't beat the beauty of this canna! Heirloom canna, probably originated from India (why it's also known as 'Bengal Tiger'.) |
