Canna 'New White' (White Canna) - Large, creamy, nearly white flowers on 4-5 ft. tall plant. Prefers full sun and warm weather. Frost hardy to about 0 degrees F if given deep mulch around crown. Regular watering. A taller plant than Canna 'Herb's White', which was a seedling Herb Kelly selected from the cultivar 'North Star' that we used to grow. When Herb gave us this plant in 1999 he just called it "new white" and this the name we continue to grow it under today. 

The information displayed on this page about Canna 'New White' is based on our research conducted about this plant from books in our nursery library as well as from information that is provided by reliable online resources. We also have included our own observations made about it as it grew in the nursery gardens and other gardens visited, as well how the crops of this plant performed in the containers when we had them in our nursery field. We also include comments received from others and welcome hearing from anyone who has information about this plant, particularly if it includes cultural information aiding others to better grow it.

 
We closed for regular business at the end of 2025 in order for the property to be developed for affordable housing.
Our gates remain closed but we will open them by appointment to interested parties as we liquidate remaining supplies and equipment.
