Canna 'Bangkok Yellow' - Tuberous perennial. Growing 4-6 feet tall with striking yellow and green variegated foliage and large bright yellow flowers in summer-fall. AKA 'Nirvana', 'King of Siam' - A plant so spectacular it deserves so many names. Medium water needs. Hardy to 0 degrees F. We grew this plant from 1995 until 2005 when it was diagnosed as having canna yellow mottle virus (CaYMV). We only continued to grow Canna varieties that were determined to not be infected nor susceptible to this virus. 

The information displayed on this page about Canna 'Bangkok Yellow' 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.
