Love this canna....but I wanted to warn everyone, that this cultivar is the same as Florence Vaughan. I didn't know, and ended up trading for a lot of canna I already had!!!

The one I purchased is ALL YELLOW bloom. Some people call Florence Vaughan and Yellow King Humbert by the same name. I don't know as I am fairly new to cannas.

This lily grows tall and provides a nice back drop for other plants. The leaves are very dramatic and it proliferates like mad. I can't seem to get mine to bloom though. 4 years running they grown and proliferate but won't bloom. Any suggestions would be greatly appriciated.

My very first canna, and I'm so pleased with it. Yellow King Humbert has led to many other cultivars being planted by its side.
