Giant Canna Yellow King Humbert

With its cheery yellow flowers, spotted with red, Yellow King Humbert Giant Cannas make a bold statement in sunny beds and borders. These giant cannas grow 4-5' tall. Clusters of showy, bold yellow flowers start blooming in midsummer—and they'll keep blooming until the first fall frost. The green, elliptical foliage creates a tropical effect. Able to handle the summer heat, cannas have been long valued by park and municipal gardeners. Now home gardeners realize the value of these new hybrids as each year their popularity grows.
