Awards:
Canna ‘Lenape’ cannot receive the AGM recommended to it in the 2002 RHS
Canna Trials until it is available for purchase in the UK.
We purchased ours in 2004 from Cotswold Garden Centre as a packaged rhizome from Dutch growers and we would presume that this constraint will be lifted shortly, and the award will be granted unreservedly.
