This is hubby's need a beer after a long day space. I was thinking of planting Cannas here and there and asked if I could put some in here. He said whatever you want as long as it looks nice. Do you think I should squeeze in some cannas for a bit of color (and flowers) or let it be?  I was thinking flowers might make the space too kitschy, it's his beer corner after all. |

That's my kind of garden and looks great as is, but if you are going to put a few Cannas in then make it something exotic looking like 'Durban'

I vote for a bit of sqeezing too, I have one with very deep red, almost black leaves, that might look good amongst the green. It looks lovely, I could manage to sit there with a beer at the end of the day |

Cannas would be just perfect there. I love all the green, and cannas will enhance the tropical greenery without going over the top.

I couldn't find cannas with dark leaves in the GC plants I mean, just seeds so I just planted them in tiny pots today and hope they grow.

That would be ambitious here jrae, but where you are I suppose anything grows and fast.

I checked the neighbors and the GC and no one had any bronze or variegated cannas so I had to try seeds. I did soak it in warm water for 2 days after I nicked the seed coat. Hope I get at least a few plants. I did plant all the seeds from 5 packets so if all of them show up I can always share with the neighbors or put cannas all around the fence to replace the sunflowers as I find it tiring to keep on replanting patches of sunflowers here and there every weekend.
