Canna Intrigue is from family Cannaceae, other known names are Canna and Canna Lily. It is a tropical-looking perennial with fleshy rhizomes (underground stems). Intrigue canna is exceptionally tall and thin, with a central stalk clasped by large, tapered, upright purplish-gray leaves and topped by orange flowers above the leaves. The flowers open in succession, continue from spring into autumn, and attract hummingbirds. Cut spent stems before they make seeds to encourage the growth of new stems and prolong flowering. In temperate zones, cannas are grown as annuals. Their rhizomes are dug in autumn and brought into a cool, dry garage or basement to overwinter and then planted again in spring after the last frost date. They transplant and divide easily. In milder areas, the rhizomes are hardy in the ground over winter and new leaves emerge in late spring. Cannas are amazingly adaptable, growing on almost any soil. They grow and flower best in full sun and rich, moist to wet soil but can be surprisingly drought tolerant if faced with dry weather. Use Intrigue in containers, waterside gardens, shallow ponds, or as bold focal points in a bed or border. Though tolerant of wet soils and shallow water, it does not tolerate deep standing water.
