This is also my first year for this one and so far seems to be a SLOW grower. I sure hope that it does well for me and blooms and multiplies so I can share with friends.

This canna is reliably shorter than most others I've tried where the "dwarfs" still reach 5 to 6 feet in my garden. This one, so far, in staying about 2 feet tall. My blooms are more yellow with peach markings than the pink that others report. I don't know if this is due to soil or climate. It's only the first year in my garden, so I'm not sure how vigorously it spreads, which with some cultivars can be almost invasive. Still have to watch for cann leaf rollers. Ugh!

This is one of my favorites, at around 4 feet is was a great addition in 2004. My small clump has tripled but is still in a nice clump in 2005. I cannot wait for the bloom this year, It really is a standout
