Revisiting Canna 'Petit Poucet'


A miniature Crozy Group cultivar; green foliage, oval shaped, branching habit; spikes of flowers are open, yellow speckled with red, staminodes are medium size, edges irregular, petals green, fully self-cleaning; fertile both ways, not self-pollinating or true to type, capsules globose; rhizomes are thick, up to 3 cm in diameter, coloured white; tillering is slow.

We have no information on the background of this little delicacy, and any assistance towards it's history would be appreciated.

  2. Well spotted Raphaël, that was virus, not stress. I destroyed the plant shortly after that photograph. I have not been able to replace it yet, and I do like the happy little flowers.
