Summary[edit]

Description

Common name: Canna Lily, Indian Shot, {Keli केली, Sarvajjaya सर्वज्जय} (Hindi), Laphoorit (Manipuri), Sarbajaya (Bengali), Kardal कर्दळ (Marathi), Kele Phool केंळें फुल (Konkani)

Botanical name: Canna x generalis (syn. Canna x orchiodes) - [ (KAN-uh) derived from a Greek name for a type of reed; (x = Hybrid) (jen-er-RAY-liss) meaning prevailing or normal ] Family: Cannaceae (canna family) - [ (kan-AY-see-ay) the canna family ]

Origin: Tropical America, Caribbean

The genus is native to tropical and subtropical regions of the New World, from the southern United States (southern South Carolina west to southern Texas) and south to northern Argentina.

Although all cannas are native to the New World, they have followed mankind's journey's of discovery and some species are cultivated and naturalized in most tropical and sub-tropical regions.

Canna cultivars are grown in most countries, even those with territory above the Arctic circle, which have short summers but long days, and the rapid growth rate of Cannas makes them a feasible gardening plant, as long as they get their 6 hours of sunlight each day during the growing season and are protected from the cold of winter.
