I think mine is red Futurity............look on
alt.bianaries.pictures.gardens for the pic of it. the website says plant
them three inches........my dad taught me to plant them two shovels deep.
That'd be around 20 or more inches.......wow. what a difference, eh? I
think the Tropicana just froze. Given a really cold winter with long bouts
of freezing, I'd possibly lose my Bengal Tigers and possibly my dad's old
green Indian shot (I hope not, I brought it 13 years ago from my childhood
home)

In some of the places I've lived I've used the gray water to not only
water
my flower beds, but even my lawns and no matter what I had in the
water,
it
gets so deluted between the two cycles that it didn't bother anything.
And
as that one user says, her canna ( what color? get seeds? ) love the
water.

Old fashioned Indian shot canna (green leaves, gets up to 15 foot high
with
red flowers, seeds are hard enough to be fired outa a muzzle loader
rifle.,
which they did back in the Civil war days) and Bengal Tiger or
Praetoria
that has adjusted to my zone. Alas the Tropicanna Canna said screw you
this
winter and never returned but provided some nice humusy remains to feed
my
two large babies. Holler at me and I'll send you current
pictures.......I'm
tempted to plant another hardy canna there just for contrast. A dark
leaf
variety that has a red flower.............digging in that muck is
interesting. And I dig canna's double shovel deep.
maddie (if I get seeds, I'll holler)

I had a lot of that canna at one time, but I left them in the ground and
they didin't survive. They are increadible growers. If you are looking
for
a nice red one with dark leaves, I would recommend Black Knight. Mine
just
started to bloom this week. Here is link to a pictu
