Canna first appeared in U.S. gardens in the 1840’s but they were not widespread until the 1890’s. Much of the early breeding work with Cannas occurred in France. The first prominent breeder was M. Thodore Anne who collected Canna glauca and Canna indica in Chile and based his garden hybrids on crosses of these two species. He improved the habit and leaf color but his cultivars sported wild-type flowers.

Canna are herbaceous perennials of tropical origin. They have a rhizomatous rootstock and they spread slowly outward from where they are planted. Each individual stem consists of a central herbaceous stalk with 10 to 12 leaves arranged alternately or spirally on it.

The genus name Canna comes from the Greek ‘kanna’ and the Celtic ‘cana’ which refers to ‘a reed-like plant’ (and is also the root of the musical term ‘canon’). The name Canna was applied to this genus as early as 1576 and was formally given to the genus by Linnaeus in his seminal work Species Plantarum. (Trivia: Canna is the first genus described in Species Plantarum).
