Canna ‘Antoine Crozy’ is a medium sized Crozy Group cultivar; green foliage, oval shaped, spreading habit; oval stems, coloured green; flowers are open, carmine with a yellow margin, staminodes are medium size, good bloomer, blooms open in the early morning; fertile both ways, not self-pollinating or true to type, capsules globose; rhizomes are tuber-like groups, coloured white and pink.
Writing in Garden & Forest in 1889, Theophilus Hatfield asserted
Canna ‘Souvenir Antonin Crozy’ remains the best of all the true Crozy type, and it is doubtful if any of this year’s introductions will equal it in beauty.
