    Canna Intrigue has small pink to peach flowers that are held high above the foliage. The leaves are what make this plant so amazing; the foliage is dark purple and very narrow unlike most cannas. Canna Intrigue grows to 7 feet in height and has long rhizomes. Even though it is easy to grow and very beautiful it is still rarely seen on the market. Foliage: Narrow and dark purple Flowers: Medium to small pink to peach in color Height: 6 to 8 feet tall.
