FAQ

Which plant does this Canna Lily verdict cover?

Canna generalis. The ASPCA's Canna Lily and Common Garden Canna entries both give "Canna generalis" as their scientific name. This verdict covers that named plant; plants with other scientific names are not covered or graded here. Check the scientific name on the tag.

Do Canna Lily and Common Garden Canna name the same plant in these ASPCA entries?

Yes. Both entries give "Canna generalis". The Canna Lily entry reads "Non-Toxic to Dogs, Non-Toxic to Cats, Non-Toxic to Horses", while Common Garden Canna reads "Non-Toxic to Dogs, Non-Toxic to Cats". This cat and dog verdict follows the scientific name in those entries.
