Dwarf Canna Cleopatra
Dwarf Canna Cleopatra
Gorgeous flowers are a striking combination of yellow and red in irregular patterns and resemble glowing torches. The lush, tropical-looking foliage is green with bronze-red highlights. These dwarf cannas are striking when planted en masse in borders. They're also an excellent choice for containers.

Small and dead
Only one rhizome had any life, and we babied it along, it WAS NOT CLEOPATRA. Was given credit for it, to order again. Cleopatra is very difficult to find, been trying for several years and have not had success.

Read The Reviews
I wish that I had never heard of this company. I ordered two packs of these cannas. There were 5 in a pack making 10. Only one of the 10 grew. After reading other reviews on various flowers and bulbs, this sounds more like the norm. Very disappointed.
Dead Dried up Nubs
Don't waste your money. When I got these Canna bulbs, they were nothing but dried up nubs that were dead. I planted them and nothing came up. I asked for a refund, and instead got a certificate to either pay for a replacement or to buy something else of equal value. I got some coneflowers instead and they too were dried up and dead, and when planted, nothing came up. I'm a very experienced gardener and know how to garden.
I would buy them again, they are beautiful
Verified Buyer
The Dwarf Canna Cleopatras are beautiful plants, however, they are not Dwarf. It may be something I did, don't know. They are hugh plants, 3 to 4 feet high. Will move them where they have more room.
Beautiful plants
Verified Buyer
I love these cannas and the bulbs shipped were very healthy.
Love the continuous blooms
It did so well this summer/fall. I plan on bringing it in for the winter
I will buy again.
Outstanding plants breaking ground now.
Can't wait!!!
I've had these before. I cleaned out my garden and gave them to my neighbor. I've had nothing but remorse since then. Cleopatra is absolutely gorgeous. Even the leaves are unusually beautiful. I only just received these. They are healthy, and by the looks, are ready to take off. I also got 2 of these for free. They were smaller, but hey, they grow to be big ones like the others. Can't wait.
