purpleinopp said:definitely another vote for Cannas, BUT leaf roller caterpillars can and almost certainly will attack these plants where hardy.
If one would feel compelled to use chemicals to combat that, I would strongly urge you to please pass on the Cannas. Hummingbirds use these for nectar, so it would be cruel to attract them to poisonous flowers.
There are so many things one can grow in a yard, I've decided to limit any new additions to those that provide nectar for hummers/butterflies
