Canna 'Cleopatra' - Like its namesake this canna has been known to do an about face. Usually it is a green leafed plant having large yellow flowers with red spots but it often throws out a pure or part red flower as well as a leaf with broad maroon stripes. A very beautiful old cultivar. Grows 6 feet tall. Tuberous perennial. Full sun. Moderate water needs. Flowers summer-fall. Hardy to 0 degrees F. We grew this plant from 1997 until 2005 when it was diagnosed as having canna yellow mottle virus (CaYMV). We only continued to grow Canna varieties that were determined to not be infected nor susceptible to this virus.
The information about Canna 'Cleopatra' displayed on this web page is based on our research conducted in the nursery's horticultural library and from reliable online resources. We also include observations made about it as it grows in our nursery gardens and other gardens we have visited, as well how the crops have performed in containers in our nursery field. We will also incorporate comments we receive from others and welcome hearing from anyone with additional information, particularly if they can share cultural information that would aid others in growing this plant. |
