Cannas

I tried growing cannas when I first started planting butterfly and hummingbird plants in 2003. I am pretty sure that I overwatered the rhizomes and they didn't come up. They were also exhibition-type cannas from back East and I planted them to attract butterflies, not to exhibit. Do cannas attract butterflies in Southern California? What kind of canna that attracts butterflies is the most hardy?

I tried googling and I didn't come up with anything on this subject.

Thanks,

Chuck

Chuck, you have d-mail....

I don't know about butterflies, but cannas in my garden are a total hummer magnet! They LOVE it!
