Hi, Canna lovers--

Perhaps you might give me some tips or guidance on how to choose cannas?...

...I became interested in trying a few cannas last year when I saw some fabulous "Bengal" cannas planted near our football stadium here in Cincinnati--

Now I think I saw a Canna Co-op thread (somewhere?) and might like to participate...but, I don't know much about how to choose/order--or what would be best for my situation--

I want to grow my cannas in large pots for the hummingbirds--I am mostly interested in a nice impressive red flower with good plant shape (not raggety or gangley) with not so much foliage--about 5 feet tall.

I would also like to purchase rhizomes for a nice splotchy yellow and red canna to pair with it.

Also, I read on a Canna discussion thread on another site that there is some kind of virus to watch out for? Is that still the case, or have the growers rid themselves of it??

Any thoughts or comments would be appreciated... Thanks again. t.
