They're real and they're spectacular!!
(sorry couldn't help myself)
Best part is the canna family is low maintenance and hardy and fits just fine in our area (zone 9b). Kind of like a plants for dummies category (perfect for me!!). I need to make sure they get enough water (automation) and nutrients (extra fertilizer beginning and end of season) but that is about it.
They can handle the heat here just fine and the full sun they will be getting is exactly what they need
They are basically tropical themed plants with nice banana style leaves. They grow quickly and up to about 6 feet
They have a variety of nice bright colors
-Canna tropicanna (also known as phasion) is one of the most popular and sought after
-Canna australia has nice dark colored leaves
-Canna wyoming has some lovely orange flowers
-Canna cannova bronze and scarlet (I still think these look nice but the truth is these 3 are merely a fill in b/c I can't get the full order of tropicanna I want. Only 3/6 available. That sounds like a horrible comment but it is the brutal truth. I will always be judging you!!)
I am really really really looking forward to plant installation and the completion of water/rock work right now. I feel like a kid right before Xmas
