Canna ‘Burgundia’
Canna ‘Bavaria’
Canna ‘Austria’
Introduced by C. Sprenger, Dammann and Co., Naples, Italy, EU in 1893. Announced along with C. ‘Italia’, caused much interest as their large flowers were considered to be a major breakthrough. Herr Sprenger crossed C. ‘Madame Crozy’ with C. flaccida ‘Le Roi’. Synonyms: C. ‘Austra’, C. ‘Canary Bird’, C. ‘Lemon Zest’, C. ‘Richard Wallace’, C. ‘Souvenir de Jeanne’
Canna ‘Australia’

Canna ‘America’
Canna flaccida ‘Le Roi’ would appear to be a C. flaccida strain that had settled down to the climate of Naples, rather than the sub-tropical climate of Florida and southern USA. At Claines Canna we are attempting to establish a strain of C. flaccida that can grow happily in our mangled climate. We are not crossing it, just growing on the strongest rhizomes year after year. The crosses between the Crozy Group and C. flaccida are some of the most important ever made and we want to perpetuate these crosses.
