Canna Lily 'Wyoming'

I have these planted in a rather exposed area of my back yard. They receive full sun all day and put up with 100+ degree temps. On really...Read More hot days, the blooms will wilt some, but the plants don't seem to mind otherwise. Mine seem to have adjusted to the dry conditions I have. While I do water them more than my other plants, they've certainly gone bone dry more than once!This is the second summer I've had them and I'm having to really thin them out. I'll probably divide them in the fall to share with other parts of the yard.

Overall, I love them. They provide a nice privacy screen when they're full grown. My neighbor popped her head over the fence to ask what that beautiful tall flower was :-)

Given plenty of water, this will multiply like crazy. It needs water more than it needs sun. I've had flowers from one I transplanted fro...Read Morem Italy to the UK - plenty of rain there, but not much sun! In drought conditions it will survive but not multiply well or flower. Given loads of water and lots of sun, you have perfect conditions and it will continuously reproduce. From my original stock of 2 that I discovered in the garden in a dry zone with no water (they never grew well or flowered) I moved them and now have about 30 dotted around the place close to irrigation fonts.

What I call a great bargain plant ... I like things that give you free plants!

I have both the green and the darker foliage and love both of them. They are multiplying pretty good but nothing like the Florence Vaughan.

Transplanted one last year.Given as a surprise gift from
a friend.Continued to grow, though didnt produce flowers.
It ...Read Morehad a natural mulch this winter.Hopefully it didnt freeze.
It still hasnt come up yet.Im hoping its just a lag due to cool soil conditions.

One of the very best and darkest of the dark foliaged cannas, in my opinion. Really makes a statement.

Excellent canna for both foliage and bloom. Good as a specimen and background plant. One of my first cannas and always a favourite. Hard...Read More to beat 'Wyoming' for good performance, ease to grow, and good looks (o:
