This is one of the new wave of variegated leaf cannas. The reddish purple leaf is dramatically striped with yellow veins. In addition to the dramatic foliage, the plant is topped from late spring through late summer with stalks of large brilliant scarlet-red flowers for a combination that would make even the most flamboyant designer blush. C. 'Durban' makes a great garden plant but does not multiply as fast as the other variegated leaf types.
