Ha! It's true.

Thanks to you mentioning the cannas I finally got down to cutting it back and bringing it to safety for the winter, Marie.

Another Jackmanii gets about 10' tall but nothing approaching the massive size of the one above. Yet another does cover the light post at the driveway but it, too, tops out at about 10'. Provided I remember to do it, I will cut it back in April and May just to see if I can get blooms nearer the bottom. It's been like this since I planted it eons ago. You can see I do cut it back hard in February but it still has bare (ugly) legs.
