Given plenty of water, this will multiply like crazy. It needs water more than it needs sun. I've had flowers from one I transplanted from Italy to the UK - plenty of rain there, but not much sun! In drought conditions it will survive but not multiply well or flower. Given loads of water and lots of sun, you have perfect conditions and it will continuously reproduce. From my original stock of 2 that I discovered in the garden in a dry zone with no water (they never grew well or flowered) I moved them and now have about 30 dotted around the place close to irrigation fonts.
What I call a great bargain plant ... I like things that give you free plants!

Transplanted one last year.Given as a surprise gift from
a friend.Continued to grow, though didnt produce flowers.
It had a natural mulch this winter.Hopefully it didnt freeze.
It still hasnt come up yet.Im hoping its just a lag due to cool soil conditions.

Excellent canna for both foliage and bloom. Good as a specimen and background plant. One of my first cannas and always a favourite. Hard to beat 'Wyoming' for good performance, ease to grow, and good looks (o:
