Comments:  Canna Lily Tropical Sunrise is a showy tropical perennial with breathtaking pastel shade blooms that really stands out in the garden.  A free bloomer, it is heat-tolerant and very easy to grow. It only needs 6 hours of sunshine and it multiplies fast. Remove spent flowers to promote new growth.  Hummingbird loves this canna.  Canna Lily Tropical Sunrise is also grown as an aquatic.  Submerge pot in pond.
