Designers love it, garden visitors love it, hummingbirds love it, we love it...so why are we sharing? This amazing canna, a 1978 seedling selection from California's Herb Kelly, is one of the most unusual looking canna lilies we've grown. The very narrow, pointed, purple-grey foliage of Canna 'Intrigue' makes one of the most stunning accent plants in the garden. In addition, the narrow leaves and strong vertical habit make the architectural presentation of this canna most special. The 7' tall Canna 'Intrigue' is topped in very late summer with small orange-red flowers, but this baby is truly chosen for its wonderful form.
