David Cluwlow wrote “I would rate this as one of the greatest, if not the greatest Canna. It has the most incredibly spotted flower in any Genus I have seen. The flowers are huge, open well and are held way above the disease resistant foliage. It is constantly in flower all the year around and everybody who sees it wants it. It is self-cleaning and also an excellent parent both as a female and as a male.”_x000D_
