Canna Problem

We cannot be positive without seeing the flower you have described, but this may be a Canna lily. Cannas are prized for their showy leaves and striking spikes of large flowers in reds, oranges, white, cream, yellow, pink or bicolors. They grow best in full sun and regular water. In mild winter areas, cannas can be left in the ground all year long, but in your area they may not be winter hardy. You’ll need to lift them after the first frost and keep them dormant inside over winter or keep them in a pot indoors like you have done…When the temperatures turn mild, take outdoors and place in partial shade, then gradually introduce it to full sun over 7-10 days. Otherwise the leaves will scald if put out in full sun suddenly.
