(aka: Canna x generalis 'Aureostriata' or Canna 'Pretoria') Imported from India in 1963 by the Glasshouse Works guys, Canna 'Bengal Tiger' is a sport of Canna 'Wyoming' that originated from radiation experiments in the 1950s at India's Agri Horticultural Society. Canna 'Bengal Tiger' was later taken to Africa by Sydney Percy-Lancaster, where it was later "rediscovered" and given the invalid additional name Canna 'Pretoria'. Canna 'Bengal Tiger' is considered by many to be the most beautiful of canna lilies. The dramatic stalks of green- and yellow-striped variegated leaves with a brilliant maroon edge grow to 6' and are topped in summer with bright orange flowers that are favored by hummingbirds...scrumptious! Canna 'Bengal Tiger' will also grow in water as an aquatic plant. Canna 'Bengal Tiger' was awarded the prestigious Royal Horticultural Society Award of Garden Merit in 2002.

The maintenance of Cannas through the growing season requires first an understanding of the life cycle of the plant. Cannas grow continuously through the growing season, which for Cannas is the frost free part of the year. Here in zone 7b central North Carolina, Cannas grow from April up to frost in October, or more commonly now a day, November. New stems, actually pseudo-stems of sheath leaf petioles, are produced continuously. Each stem flowers. Most Cannas have about 3 separate spikes of flowers per stem. There will be no additional flowers on a stem beyond the initial buds once they bloom. These spent stems will most often remain alive for the rest of the growing season. However the leaf color will become increasingly dull as these stems age. This is especially noticeable on the Canna cultivars grown for their colorful foliage, and these Canna cultivars are amongst the most colorful foliage of all plants. Cutting out these spent stems will greatly improve the appearance of the remaining younger, flowering stems. A sharp knife drawn through the base of the stem often works better than pruning shears, especially if the shears are not in perfect repair.

Cannas are sun lovers, though they don't have to have sun all day. A dry site should be avoided. They will not thrive when dry. Average moisture or more is best. Indeed they will thrive in wet, poorly drained soil, which most garden plants will not.

Overwintering Canna:Cannas are winter-hardy in areas where the ground does not freeze, generally the warm end of Zone 7 and south and can be left in the ground there. In colder zones, Cannas need to be dug and stored in a frost free location over winter. They can be stored bareroot either in a loosely closed plastic bag. Container grown Cannas can be stored undisturbed in their container all winter, withholding water. Replant in spring once the soil has warmed up.

Cut flowers and foliage:Canna foliage is an excellent long lasting addition to flower arrangements. The flowers of Cannas are not, the flowers do not hold up when cut.

Great Looking Shelf
Color: Brown, Size: 4Tier48in, Color: Brown, Size: 4Tier48in
I love this shelf! It took two people to hang it and you definitely want to ensure you hit a stud on at least one side or 1-2 screws if mounting between studs. It is heavy but a single person can lift it, just not maneuver easily due to its dimensions. It has a ton of room and fits mini helmets nicely in my office. Where I mounted it made it difficult to an extent to install but if you are even somewhat handy, you’ll be fine. You absolutely need a stud finder to hang this shelf. Sorry, I’m married! I would buy this shelf, or versions of it, again. Very practical and useful to display autographs, housewares or decor. Last note: do not over tighten the poles. The wood is soft and the poles are light weight. They are not traditional black pipe and weigh far less.

AWESOME Look and Quality
Color: Brown, Size: 2Tier60in
I love these shelves and have bought additional for other areas in the house. I love the look of the industrial pipes, the color of the shelves is perfect, they are sturdy and hold a lot of weight. They are somewhat difficult to assemble, but it's expected as hanging shelves are never fun to hang. I love them. If you are on the fence, just do it :)

Nice, but a bear to install
Color: Black, Size: 3Tier48in
Quality product that looks good on our shiplap wall of the wet bar space. The install was a real trip and extremely difficult. You definitely need 2 or more people to install as the direction tell you to put the entire item together, then hang on the wall. This makes it impossible to do yourself.
