Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Heirloom Canna from the Victorian Era with stalks that can grow 8’ tall dripping with large rich rose clusters of BIG flowers that dangle downward summer and fall…quite imposing! For your warmest spot in a sunny location in average garden soil that is moist to wet (even boggy during the growing season).
Graceful, spectacular, and decidedly different, this landmark canna is topped by arching sprays of dangling, bell-shaped, deep rose flowers that may remind you of fuchsias. Though widely praised by late Victorian gardeners, it doesn't store or ship as easily as other cannas so it all but disappeared in the 20th century. But now it's back, and it's a thrill. 5-7', green leaves, zones 8-11 or winter indoors.
