A tall Crozy Group cultivar; green foliage, branching habit; flowers are self-coloured crimson, throat yellow, outstanding bloomer; fertile both ways, not self-pollinating or true to type; rhizomes are thick, up to 3 cm in diameter, coloured purple; tillering is average.
Introduced by A. Crozy, Lyon, France in 1891. Received the RHS Award of Merit in 1892, when it was submitted by Messrs G. Paul. Although 2009 has been the worst year for Canna that we have ever experienced, through it all this one shone like a true star.
