A Rainbow of Cannas with Variegated Foliage
With spectacular variegated foliage these plants will add instant color to your garden.
These colorful tropical plants offer a palette of colors that include reds, pinks, yellow and greens, white silver and cream.
There are different variegated cannas that display their variegation in their own unique ways.
Canna Pringle Bay is a fine example of these exotic plants whilst showing stripes of pink, cream and yellow over green foliage.
Every leaf is striped different and as the leaves age some of the stripes fade, note the older leaves in the background of the picture.
The coloring
on Canna Stuttgart is something to behold, with white color blocks
edging onto green blocks thus also giving some silver and blue green shades.
