Canna variegated

Scientific Name:
Canna spp.

Canna Variegated thrives in well-draining soil and prefers full sunlight, though it can tolerate partial shade. Often found in water gardens, it is a nutrient-demanding plant that contributes organic matter to the soil, enhancing its fertility. Its vibrant, variegated foliage and striking flowers make it a popular ornamental plant. The edible starchy rhizomes and young shoots are traditionally consumed in some regions as a root vegetable or added to salads, offering both culinary and ecological benefits.
