Canna 'Ludlow'

The sheer size, and long-lasting qualities of the flower spikes are surprising. This is not at the expense of the number of stems it produces, as that is impressive as well.

Medium sized Premier Group cultivar; green foliage, oval shaped, upright habit; spikes of flowers are open, self-coloured gold, staminodes are large, edges irregular, petals yellow, fully self-cleaning, outstanding bloomer; 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 average.
