The President Canna Lily is a classic variety with long-lasting red-orange blooms standing above lush foliage. This variety has graced the White House Garden for years. From mid-summer through frost, watch for visiting hummingbirds, which adore the nectar-rich flowers. Large, lance-shaped foliage makes a bold impact in the garden. Plant in masses at the back of borders, or in containers to enhance outdoor living spaces. (Canna indica)

USDA Hardiness Planting Zones
To determine if a plant is sufficiently cold hardy, the USDA created numbered zones indicating winter low temperatures; the lower the zone number the colder the winter.
- If the coldest winter temperature expected in your area is -15°F (zone 5) then any plants rated zones 3-5 will survive the winter temperatures in your area.
- If you live in very warm winter areas (zones 9-11) plants with zones 3-4 ratings are not recommended. The lack of freezing winter temperatures do not provide a time for winter dormancy (rest).
