Vivid. Wild. Unpredictable. The Cleopatra Canna Lily is a botanical celebration of color and individuality — no two blooms are ever the same. This eye-catching variety produces bold flowers in brilliant yellow, deep red, fiery orange, or a painterly split between the three, each speckled or striped in a way that feels hand-crafted by nature. 

But the magic doesn’t stop with the blooms — its variegated foliage is just as spectacular. With deep purple and emerald green leaves, Cleopatra brings a dramatic, tropical presence to any landscape, whether it's a formal garden bed, an exotic container display, or a lush patio oasis.

Easy to grow and impossible to overlook, Cleopatra thrives in full sun, reaching up to 3–5 feet tall during the growing season. It performs beautifully from late spring to early fall, offering months of dazzling, ever-changing beauty.
