This modern canna cultivar combines the bold architectural presence of traditional Cannas with some of the darkest foliage available in the genus, creating a dramatic tropical effect in gardens, terraces and large containers.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhat makes Canna 'Tropicanna Black Knight' particularly special is the contrast between its rich, near-black leaves and its luminous scarlet-red flowers. As the season progresses, the foliage develops increasingly intense shades of deep burgundy, plum and black, creating visual interest long before the first flowers appear. When backlit by morning or evening sunlight, the foliage can be breathtaking, revealing subtle red and purple undertones that many photographs fail to capture fully.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAt TOMs FLOWer CLUB, we consider this one of the finest foliage Cannas available today.
