Have you seen this Canna from Veseys?

Grand Forks, BC(Zone 5b)

Gotta have it. Alas, no room...but next year!!!

Quoting:
Huge melon orange blooms on 36-48 inch strong tall stems. The striking foliage has zebra striping with alternating bands of cream-yellow and green.

DonM47 - I didn't have good luck with cannas from Vesey's - you might have more luck somewhere else - the roots I got from them were tiny and took 3 years to bloom!

And I live in a long growing season, too - anyone know of a good place to order from here in Canada for these?

annabell52, it was called Variegated Canna "Pretoria".

Good to know, 2zeus. I have enough cannas now for this year. But next year, I'll look look for that same variegation from another supplier. Hopefully more will be available then.

Thanks jargonjune, I found a link for them under the member list, Guildwood Cannas & Tropicals, and sure enough, they have (or had) Pretoria. Unfortunately they are sold out of available Rhizomes. But I will keep their name for next year. I appreciate the tip. Ü

Thanks, echoes, never occurred to me to try capitalising.
