Canna (Plant) Gallery

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a gallery of named canna cultivars. Names of cultivars are regulated by the International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants, are registered with an International Cultivar Registration Authority (ICRA) and conform to the rules of the International Society for Horticultural Science (ISHS) Commission for Nomenclature and Cultivar Registration. The ICRA for the Canna genus is the Royal General Bulbgrowers' Association of the Netherlands (KAVB).

Where several very similar cultivars exist, these are termed Cultivar Groups. For more details on the naming conventions see Cultivar Naming.
