Bengal Tiger Canna

Outstanding Bengal Tiger Canna is a tall growing plant that reaches here in my garden up to 1.8 meters tall when in flower.

Bengal Tiger has broad green leaves that are variegated in stripes of yellow, new growth shows a rich red burgundy coloured margin.

The flowers are big in size and are coloured a dark orange, on closer examination small darker splotches of red to orange can be seen especially on the labellum, itis a real knockout and standout canna to have in the garden.

This outstanding variegated plant dates back to India where it originated in the 1950s in Bengal a northeast area in the Indian Subcontinent, hence its name Bengal Tiger.

This cultivator I’ve never had produce any seed before but there have been a few known cases of where it has set seed.
