The plants are large tropical and subtropical perennial herbs with a rhizomatous rootstock. The broad, flat, alternate leaves that are such a feature of this Plant, grow out of a stem in a long, narrow roll and then unfurl.as a bio student i collected some information from the internet and here i am going to represent it.
The leaves are typically solid green, but some cultivars have glaucose, brownish, maroon, or even variegated leaves.Plants have large foliage and horticulturists have turned it into a large-flowered garden plant. It is also used in agriculture as a rich source of starch for human and animal consumption interesting isn't it ?
some scientific information of this beautiful garden plant.
Scientific classification :
Kingdom: Plantae
Clade: Angiosperms
Clade: Monocots
Clade: Commelinids
Order: Zingiberales
Family: Cannaceae
Juss.
Genus: Canna
L.
The flowers are composed of three sepals and three petals that are seldom noticed by people, they are small and hidden under extravagant stamens.
The wild species often grow to at least 2–3 m (6.6–9.8 ft) in height, but there is a wide variation in size among cultivated plants; numerous cultivars have been selected for smaller stature.Canna is the only member of the Liliopsida class (monocot group) in which hibernation of seed is known to occur, due to its hard, impenetrable seed covering.Cannas grow best in full sun with moderate water in well-drained rich or sandy soil.
Use of Canna plant : They grow from perennial rhizomes, but are frequently grown as annuals in temperate zones for an exotic or tropical look in the garden.
Internationally, cannas are one of the most popular garden plants and a large horticultural industry depends on the plant.In more remote regions of India, cannas are fermented to produce alcohol.A purple dye is obtained from the seed.
