For something truly unique, we are pleased to introduce Canna ‘Thai Rainbow’, which offers a unique leaf variegation pattern (reportedly radiation induced). Canna ‘Thai Rainbow’ forms a 6′ tall, rapidly multiplying clump of narrow leaves that are banded green and cream with a purple flush that is particularly evident on the leaf edges. The clumps are topped with small but bright red-orange flowers that attract hummingbirds throughout the summer…looks and grows like a variegated form of CannaIntrigue’.
