I had been looking for Canna x ehemanii since I first saw it (in a Martyn & Rix guide?) as a kid. Bought one from Old House Gardens last year, arrived as a healthy division with plenty of growing points. Plant tragically died back to the roots when we had a combination power outage & deep freeze in October, days shy of its first flowering. Hoping to give it a stronger start this year - it grew faster than I could pot it up! If it's the shape of the inflorescence that intrigues you, Canna 'Orange Punch' and Canna 'Lemon Punch' apparently have the same flower form from C. iridiflora/C x ehemanii genetics. I'd love to know if there are others. Is C.x ehemanii a synonym for C. iridiflora? -joe on the VA-TN border, where a clump of dark-flowered Crocus tomassinianus showed up today among the thousands I'm dividing and transplanting into the cemetery.
