The genus is native to tropical and subtropical regions of the [[New World]], from the [[Southern United States]] (southern [[South Carolina]] west to southern [[Texas]]) and south to northern [[Argentina]].<ref name=Khoshoo/>

''C. indica'' has become [[Naturalisation (biology)|naturalized]] in many tropical areas around the world, is a difficult plant to remove, and is [[Invasive species|invasive]] in some places.<ref>{{citation |chapter-url=http://www.cabi.org/isc/?compid=5&dsid=14575&loadmodule=datasheet&page=481&site=144 |title=Invasive Plant Compendium |chapter=''Canna indica'' (canna lilly) |access-date=5 March 2014}}</ref>

''Canna'' cultivars are grown in most countries, even those with territory above the [[Arctic Circle]], which have short summers, but long days, and the rapid growth rate of cannas makes them a feasible gardening plant, as long as they receive 6–8 hours of sunlight each day during the growing season and are protected from the cold of winter.
