Most cannas grow up to six feet tall and occasionally as tall as eight feet. Cannas can tolerate a variety of soils with proper drainage.

With its huge leaves and exotic flowers, canna is one of the few true cold, hardy tropical plants for zone 5. Although canna survives winter without protection in most zones, zone 5 gardeners need to dig the bulbs in autumn and store them in moist peat moss until spring.

Annual/Perrenial (if you feel like digging and storing :)
