Canna 'Pretoria' (also known as 'Bengal Tiger') is a spectacular, tropical perennial prized for its stunning, boldly striped variegated foliage and vibrant orange flowers. This fast-growing, rhizomatous plant forms a dramatic clump of large, paddle-shaped leaves with striking yellow-green to creamy-yellow stripes along the veins, creating a luminous, eye-catching effect even when not in bloom . From midsummer through early autumn, it produces tall spikes of brilliant, bright orange, orchid-like flowers that rise above the foliage and attract hummingbirds and butterflies . With its architectural form and long-lasting color, it is an outstanding choice for tropical borders, mass plantings, containers, and as a dramatic focal point in sunny gardens .
