| Homestead Purple verbena.....obviously purple Gaillardia 'Arizona Sun' or 'Goblin' Both are 10-12". Tuscan-y colors of yellow on the outside of the petals and orangy red at the centers. The 'Kiss' Gazanias. Mixed solid colors of yellow, oranges and reds. These are 10-12" also. Some of the Lantanas..... I am assuming you want something that can take all day sun and the summer heat and still look good, as well as blooming at the same time as the cannas. Marcy |

| I'd suggest Black PEarl Peppers or any pepper that has dark purple leaves. marcy is right. Purple looks wonderful with tropicana cannas. If you want something more permanent, purple barberry or a small loropetalum (Purple Pixie or Purple Diamond) would be great with this plant too. |
