Re: Canna
This canna was gifted to me this year by a friend. Cannas tend to multiply fast and hopefully I will have enough by next year to give to those interested.

Re: Canna
Plus they germinate very quickly within days if grown from seed and their height is compact. The Pink and the Scarlet are the most outstanding colours in the Takeii Tropical F 1 series. The red foliage variety being mentioned by you is "Canna President" or " Scarlet" of Tropical F1 series ?

Re: Canna
Khurram sb itsactually the bronzed leafed scarlet tropical series. I have not sown seeds but i got some plants i think 3 of each colors from Unique nursery, Islamabad some four years back.One thing i have noted about this series, the foliage will burn in full sun.But if its in filtered sun its very out standing canna.Cannas are so beautiful i don,t know why they are not getting the right place in local gardens.
the following were my first Tropical purchase along six other colors some four years back
