Canna x generalis 'Stuttgart' is a clump-forming, herbaceous perennial that displays large green and cream, paddle-shaped leaves in an upright mass of striking foliage color. Bright orange flowers add another dimension of color and interest. Cannas grow best in moist, humus-rich, well-drained soil and enjoy monthly feedings with a bloom fertilizer. Water regularly during dry periods. Remove stems after bloom, and prune to the ground in fall. Both foliage and flowers add great substance and color in the landscape. Canna Lilies are especially dramatic in containers and near water features.\n

Canna Stuttgart is a beautiful grower with a lot of variegation. The leaves are green which large blotches of white. The plant can grow to over 8 feet tall and has small orange flowers held above the foliage. I have grown this plant for years in my tropical landscapes and it is always a eye catcher. The plant was named after a Botanical garden in Germany called Stuttgart where the plant was discovered. The only problems I have ever seen is full sun areas the white areas may slightly burn. I have found that adding Epson salt may help prevent some leaf burn. The best canna for shade. Foliage: Variegated white and green foliage Flowers: Orange Height: 6 to 9 feet Height: 6 to 9 feet
