180cm, Yellow Water Canna is native of wetlands and marshes in subtropical regions of the Americas. It makes ornamental bluish-green leaves and pale to rich yellow flowers, sometimes with a small orange red throat. Canna glauca is easily cultivated in any humus rich, well drained soil in a sunny spot during summer. In winter keep the dormant, fleshy rhizomes in a cool, yet frost free spot. What is usually sold as Canna glauca in the garden trade, are indeed yellow flowered forms of Canna indica or hybrids. We offer seeds from the true species. We have two different forms available: one from Florida, USA with narrow and rich yellow petals, and a second one from Yucatán, Mexico with broad and pale yellow petals. Additionally, plants from Mexico tend to grow somewhat taller and have slightly larger seeds. V-VIII. 7 seeds per package.
