This hybrid is from Longwood Gardens, good bloomer about 6' tall, sensitive to high winds. This marginal canna can be grown in ground or in water garden. In 9b it winters over fine without storing the rhzomes.

Canna glauca, which has roots that tolerate being submerged in water, was crossed with the terrestrial hybrids. Four cultivars, ‘Endeavour’, ‘Erebus’, ‘Ra’, and ‘Taney’, all named after famous ships, were selected in 1972 by Longwood gardens.

'Erebus' grows very well in water and in ground. It blooms almost constant. I especially like in or near the pond as it is lovely seen reflected in the water.
