| I'm on a sand hill in East Texas and want to plant some cannas. I have a pond with a section that faces south and gets good sun.
Can someone give me some names of cannas to plant? |

| I don't know if anyone in our area knows the names of cannas; we mostly got them from our grandmothers & our aunts, who told us, "That one's yellow, that's the red one", "I got that one from an old neighbor". I don't think there's a canna that *doesn't* grow well in your area; Just be sure to protect them as much as possible from strong winds. Best luck, & have fun! |

| Thank you for your reply. I have some that I got, just that way. I'll take your good advice and go on Craiglist and freecycle. If it ain't fun, I quit doing it! |

| I've got a bunch I can send you. Banana canna for one, it's a very good grower and is taking over again. Then the indian shot-small red flowers, heavy bloomer, mid-height, I have a yellow one also. Let me know when it's warm enough to ship to you. I actually got a few of those pass-a-long ones Id'd, I sent a bunch to a guy up north who wrote back later as excited as he could be. Of course, I have since lost the names-lost my book in the house fire last year. |

| Beachplant, I'm sorry about the fire, one of my friends from high school had their house lost in a fire, its real tough. I've seen cannas growing at a house near my old apt and I had to have them! Ginny, I'm in Texas too, Dallas, where are you? I hope to get some cannas growing soon as well. -Ashley |

| Banana Canna, King Humbert, Tropicanna are really nice in my yard. Banana seems to survive leaf rollers best. |

| Ginny, Ashley I'm digging canna on Thursday 3-25-10 if it doesn't rain. If you want some of the banana canna drop me a note before then at beachplant@excite.com and I'll ship you some too. Tally HO! Hope everyone has warmed. |
