The Canna Lily is a coarse perennial herb. The plant grows from a
large, thick, underground rootstock that is edible. Its large leaves
resemble those of the banana plant but are not so large.
Canna Lily is found in all tropical areas, especially in moist places
along streams, springs, ditches, and the margins of woods. It may
also be found in wet temperate, mountainous regions. It is easy to
recognize because it is commonly cultivated in flower gardens in the
United States.
The large and much branched rootstocks are full of edible starch.
The younger parts may be finely chopped and then boiled or
pulverized into a meal. Mix in the young shoots of palm cabbage for
flavoring.
