What customers say
Customer enthusiasm for the Canna 'Tropicanna' centers on its spectacular aesthetic appeal. Gardeners consistently praise the mature plant's dramatic multicolored foliage, featuring striking reds, oranges, yellows, and greens, making it an exceptional focal point. Successful growers report vigorous growth and high satisfaction with the vibrant orange blooms, confirming its reputation as a premium, high impact ornamental that delivers a tropical feel. However, a recurring concern involves the initial quality of the shipped rhizomes. Some customers report receiving bulbs that are small or dry, leading to initial frustration and slower establishment. Despite these inconsistencies in initial product viability, the consensus is that the resulting plant is well worth the effort once successfully grown.
