Among the thousands of perennials in our selection, many of our favorites are plants and flowers with names that start with the letter 'C'. One of the most popular of our hardy terrestrial orchids and one of Tony's favorites is Calanthe sieboldii. If you would like a new variation of canna, try Canna x generalis 'Rose Tiger', a wonderful striped canna with rosy pink flowers.
