Introduced by Malcolm Dalebö, Claines Canna Collection, Worcester, England, EU in 2006. The Claines Canna Aquatics have been bred to populate garden ponds that are just a few metres square, compared with the much larger Longwood Aquatics destined for huge ponds and lakes. Seedling of C. ‘Teme’ x self.
