Canna, the sole member of Cannaceae family, is widely cultivated as an ornamental plant for its decorative flowers and foliage also a potential tuber crop due to high starch content. This study sequenced, assembled, analyzed complete chloroplast (cp) genomes three common Canna species with distinct leaf colors (green, purple, variegated). The four cp ranged from 164,427 164,509 bp in length, had GC content 36.23–36.25%, exhibited identical gene codon preferences. Each genome contained 130 genes, including 110 unique genes (78 protein-coding unknown function, rRNAs, 28 tRNAs), 18 duplicated located IR regions (six two eight trnM-CAU LSC region. SSR long-repeat showed differences long repeats numbers distributions among genomes, highlighting molecular markers identification breeding. Comparative analysis conservation across genomes. Phylogenetic confirmed close relationship between Marantaceae supported [Musaeceae (Cannaceae + Marantaceae)] clade sister group Costaceae. data generated this provide valuable insights developing markers, resolving taxonomic classifications, advancing phylogenetic population genetic studies species.
