Johanna, if you want big canes try Irene Nuss, Silvermist, Encanto Bronze, Sophie Cecile (very shy bloomer), Di-Anna, coccinea, and Lana. Medium canes - Torch, My Special Angel, maculata, Flamingo Queen, Orange Rubra, Texas Lone Star, Ebony, Avalanche, Eastgate, and Down Home. Small canes - Cracked Ice, Tom Ment, Lois Burks, Medora (this can get tall but the leaves are small), Fabulous Tom, Snow Capped, Tangier.

Beware of Mallet types and large polka dot types - notorious for mildew once the weather gets cool in fall. The newest weapon against mildew is Milstop - wished I had this product a few years ago because I've treated a lot of canes as annuals due to mildew.

Here is Di-Anna.
