Canna ‘Braunti’ is a giant Foliage Group cultivar; dark foliage, spreading habit; round stems, coloured purple; flowers are open, pink and carmine, staminodes are large, edges regular, blooms open in the early morning; seed is sterile, pollen is fertile.

The breeder succeeded in using pollen from C. ‘Ehmanni’ on other existing hybrids, to obtain many different foliage plants with large flowers. The leaves are a magnificent Musa form, the flowers just as large as those of C. ‘Ehmanni’; but they do not produce as many flowers as the Crozy Group.
