ACLU AMONG PERENNIAL FLOWERS 
- We have become so accustomed to seeing Cannas 
in formal beds in parks that we feel they have no 
place in smaller plantings. However, the stately 
plants with their brilliant clusters of flowers hold 
their own when interplanted with shrubs or in 
bare spots in the perennial border. Try placing 
them in groups of three and let them highlight 
your garden this summer.
