EVERYONE WHO GROWS TROPICAL PLANTS KNOWS THAT CANNAS ARE A MAINSTAY OFFERING A WIDE VARIETY OF COLORS AND HEIGHTS AND BLOOMING VERY WELL IN WARM WEATHER. THEY DO LIKE TO BE FED A LOT, AND THEY ARE SUBJECT TO EVERY CHEWING INSECT ON THE PLANET, OR SO IT SEEMS. ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL OF THE INCREASINGLY NEW SUPPLY OF VARIEGATED LEAF ONES IS CANNA STUTTEGART, WHICH PROVED MORE DIFFICULT FOR ME TO GROW IN FLORIDA THAN I EXPECTED. IT IS NOT WIDESPREAD HERE, BUT I HAVE SEEN LOVELY CLUMPS OF THIS CANNA IN SUCH DISPARATE PLACES AS MY HOMETOWN OF RALEIGH, NC AND IN CALIFORNIA, ESPECIALLY AT THE SAN DIEGO ZOO. GROWN WELL, IT IS A KNOCKOUT PLANT THAT WILL REMIND MANY OF THE VERY DIFFICULT TO GROW VARIEGATED BANANAS (MUSAS) AS WELL IT SHOULD SINCE THEY ARE RELATED AFTER ALL. ANYWAY, THIS IS A PLANT WORTH SEARCHING OUT AND TRYING. IT IS FAR LESS COSTLY THAN THE VARIEGATED BANANA PLANTS.
