A small Crozy Group cultivar; bronze foliage, ovoid shaped, spreading habit; flowers are open, apricot (RHS 33B) with a salmon (RHS 29A) blush, staminodes are medium size, edges irregular, stamen is marked with gold; fertile both ways, not known if true to type, not self-pollinating, capsules round; rhizomes are thick, up to 3 cm in diameter, coloured white and purple; tillering is prolific. Introduced by Malcolm Dalebö, Claines Canna Collection, Worcester, England, EU in 2005. Our earliest reference to this specimen is KAVB Registration. Nothing can replace the real Theresa Blakey, but this is a fitting tribute to a special person. The breeding is Canna 'Louis Cottin' x C. 'Jessie Dalebö If buying seeds from this cultivar, please be aware that it does not breed true-to-type and any resulting seedlings must not be given the same name as the parents. Each seedling is a totally new plant, with unique DNA. It may outwardly resemble its parents, but it is still unique in the whole history of gardendom. If it appears to be different from existing cultivars, then it may be worth trialing, and if successful, eventually naming as a new cultivar. | ||
