(Plant Patent 10,569 Expired) Canna 'Phasion', better known as Tropicanna canna lily, is an incredible introduction from Jan Potgeither of South Africa and is the epitome of "shock gardening." Canna 'Phasion' is a sport of the ever-popular Canna 'Wyoming'. Even without flowers you would surely grow Canna 'Phasion' for the foliage...purple with dramatic stripes of yellow and red evenly spaced throughout the leaf. Atop the 7' tall stems throughout the summer are wonderfully gaudy, shocking orange flowers...indeed, Tropicanna canna is the Howard Stern of the plant world...guaranteed to get your friends talking and the hummingbirds darting!
