(M) This lovely French cultivar has very full compact heads of large flowers with wavy petals. It is an exquisite shade of pale salmon-pink with slightly ruffled petals giving an exquisite overall effect. It is a stocky, well-behaved plant with slightly glaucous green leaves. Quite widely available.
“Ecstasy” – an example of a
Canna which deserves to be much more widely known. Imagine ‘
President’; a big stocky green plant with heavy showy flowers, and thick leather green foliage right down to ground level, but with salmon-coloured flowers instead of red, and you have it. ‘
President’ is grown everywhere, yet you never see ‘Extase’. If you grow ‘
President’ as a centrepiece, then try ‘Extase’ – it won’t disappoint you. £8.00 for 3 rhizomes.
