Originally brought into the US by California sea captain Commander Bauman, this selection of our native Canna glauca was passed around California until spotted by plantsman, Herb Kelly, who named and introduced it to commerce. The narrow, pointed, grey-green leaves adorn the upright stalks to 6'. Atop the clump through summer and into fall are charming, narrow, salmon-pink flowers (darker in the center)...a hummingbird treat. A vigorous grower, Canna glauca 'Panache' is a great native plant from the Southeast US that can grow in standing water or in regular garden soil and even spreads fast enough for you to share plenty. The demand always seems to exceed our supply...get 'em while they last.
