Canna 'Stuttgart' - Tuberous perennial with bold lime-green foliage splashed with irregular white stripes. Small salmon-colored flowers sit atop this beauty from spring on into fall. Plant in full sun to partial shade. Moderate water needs and grows to a height of 6 to 8 feet tall. A great foliage plant in spring but tends to foliage-burn in summer, even in the shade. Still looks great from a distance. The reason for this leaf burn is a hot topic with Canna growers and while there seems to be no clear cut answer most believe it is caused by environmental factors such as not enough or too much moisture, growing in too much sun, nutrient deficiencies, or salts in the soil. It has also been suggested by a Marty Harper of Weird Dude's Plant Zoo in Staunton Virginia that the cause is the fungal disease Pythium and that treatment with a fungicide can alleviate the problem.
The information about Canna 'Stuttgart' 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. |
