The Cana Lily And Baby Bamboo
Unique Tropical Plants

The Cana Lily and Baby Bamboo are so very different and unique plant specimens. They have tropical roots yet can grow in some cooler geographic locations.

This article will have some basic information on each of these plant species and different ideas of where you could plant them in a landscape garden.

Both plant specimens are popular together near a bog, pond, or pool area.

If you have ever been to a Caribbean Island or live there, you will most likely be treated to a variety of different color blooms.

These lilies will grow in zone seven but should be mulched well in the colder months of winter.

The first photo below is a close up of the actual flower. Look at the details of the two tones. The solid yellow background with a distinct pattern of orange throughout the inner petals.













The second picture gives you an idea of how large and unique the leaves are. These tropical beauties are native to the southeastern United States as well as Central and South America.

Even colder zones can have the Cana Lily but they should be brought indoors during the harsh winters. Lilies also make wonderful container plants. They like full sun but can take part shade. Their height will reach from as little as 24 to 30 inches and the tallest at six to eight feet.

Take a look at a decorative pond and consider doing this outdoor feature and plant Cana Lilies and baby bamboo. As you can see, water features can be accented by many different shrubs and flowers. The lily and bamboo are just a couple of my favorites to use. Below are two pictures of a yellow tropical lily.

These lilies love moist soil and if planted in a landscape garden, water regularly. Lilies will accent a Ginger plant as well as any solid color evergreen shrub.

I like putting the Canas in front of a back drop of tall evergreen shrubs. Matching the variegated color of the flowers as well as the leaves of the shrubs, will explode a particular garden with radiant color tones.

Great price for this red Lily. Now is a wonderful time to plan for next growing season. Plan - prep - plant and enjoy!

The photo on the right gives you an idea what the buds look like before they open. This particular plant is red. The anticipation of the Cana flowers opening brings excitement every growing season.

Notice how the buds are all grouped together so when bloom times arrives, there is a mass of color with each plant. I love the soft green tone of the leaves and the grouping of the buds.

There is beauty in watching the buds open up to full blooms. The second plant specie is the dwarf of baby Bamboo.













The baby bamboo can grow well in zones five through eleven. It can take full sun but will do fine with partial shade.

The dwarf will grow ten to twenty four inches high. The bamboo will spread twelve to eighteen inches. The shiny long green leaves gives this plant a soft and natural look.

The baby does wonderful in bogs and wetland areas. One advantage to this particular species is it can be grown indoors as a house plant.

Position the plant next to or around a fish tank or indoor water feature. The dwarf bamboo does spread easily, so you may want to consider keeping it divided.

Both the Cana and the dwarf bamboo provide great color for a dry landscape garden. Mass plantings of these lilies make a beautiful bed.

Border the lilies with the dwarf bamboo, and add a few ginger plants. If your climate allows for palms, create a tropical paradise using these three plant specimens.

I just wanted to touch base on two totally different plant structures. Put the Cana and the dwarf bamboo in a dry garden or near a water feature, and you will have a lush landscape for years to come. A great vacation or holiday is taking a trip to a sub-tropical or tropical destination.
