Is this a wild canna or what?

18 years ago

Hi all,

I had so many of these popping up everywhere and they're hard to get rid of. I originally had a post about them but can't remember what section I put it in so can anyone tell me if these cannas are wild or a pest?

Thanks jan.

Hi Jan I dont think it is a wild canna lily. But it look like it is one of those that seed a lot.
If you cut of the flowers when they have finished blooming and bin them it wont set seed..
I know what you mean about Canna's I dig them up and bin them at the end of each season
A couple of each is enough...Cheers...MM.

Hey everybody. I stumbled across this thread and wondered if you all are still interested in trading canna seeds? If so, I would love to trade for anything. I have Mr. President (or that's what I've been told they're called-- red flowers with red leaves); I also have green-leafed ones with yellow, orange, pink, red, and yellow with orange splotches. They all get pretty tall, in the 6-15 foot range. The Mr. Presidents get taller than the others. Let me know! bob
