Canna flaccida
Golden Canna, Bandana-of-the-Everglades
Self-fertile, so seeds can be produced by self-pollination. Pollination is facilitated by bats, hummingbirds, and other small wildlife species. Wetland and waterline plant. Doesn't mind mucky mud; will quickly colonize a pond or slough edge.
Yellow Flowers! Larval host of the Brazilian skipper butterfly (Calpodes ethlius).
1 gallon pots - fast easy grower! Shipped bare root and wrapped carefully.
