Canna ‘Achira variegata’ is no longer available.
Achira is the generic name for Canna species and their hybrids in the Andes region, where they were grown as a horticultural crop and not as ornamentals. George Nicholson, 1888, described this one as having dark red flowers with large green foliage which has white and yellow variegation, and as being better adapted for indoor culture than out. Still available in 1910.Thor Dalebø
