Canna is the only genus of flowering plants in the family Cannaceae, consisting of 10 species.

- Pseudo-species names are now deprecated by the International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants which, instead, provides Cultivar Groups for categorising cultivars (see groups at List of Canna cultivars).
- Inevitably over time, those two floriferous groups were interbred, the distinctions became blurred and overlapped, and the Bailey species names became redundant.
- The definition was based on the genotype, rather than the phenotype, of the two cultivar groups.
- In the early 20th century, Professor Liberty Hyde Bailey defined, in detail, two "garden species" (C. × generalis and C. × orchiodes) to categorise the floriferous cannas being grown at that time, namely the Crozy hybrids and the orchid-like hybrids introduced by Carl Ludwig Sprenger in Italy and Luther Burbank in the U.S., at about the same time (1894).
- See List of Canna hybridists for details of the people and firms that created the current Canna legacy.

- Most of the synonyms were created by old varieties resurfacing without viable names, with the increase in popularity from the 1960s onwards.
- In recent years, many new cultivars have been created, but the genus suffers severely from having many synonyms for many popular ones.
- In 1910, Árpäd Mühle, from Hungary, published his *Canna* book, written in German. It contained descriptions of over 500 cultivars.
- Once, hundreds of cultivars existed, but many are now extinct.
- The genus *Canna* has recently experienced a renewed interest and revival in popularity.
- As tender perennials in northern climates, they suffered severe setbacks when two world wars sent the young gardening staff off to war.
- C. × ehemannii is tall and green-leafed with terminal drooping panicles of hot pink iris-like flowers, looking somewhat like a cross between a banana and a fuchsia.
- Some cultivars from this time, including a sterile hybrid, usually referred to as Canna × ehemannii, are still commercially available.

- The fibres are cooked for 24 hours with lye and then beaten in a blender.
- they are scraped to remove the outer skin, and are then soaked in water for two hours prior to cooking.
- The leaves are harvested in late summer after the plant has flowered,
- A fibre obtained from the leaves is used for making paper.
- The plant yields a fibre from the stem, which is used as a jute substitute.
- In more remote regions of India, cannas are fermented to produce alcohol.
- as well as the hosho, a gourd rattle from Zimbabwe, where the seeds are known as hota seeds.
