This is an unusual one; shiny green foliage sets off the very different creamy flowers spotted and splashed with coral pink; from a distance, the combination of these colour resembles a sunset; medium sized flowers and a relative short plant give this one more options for spots in the garden; 2-4 ft. 5 for $9, 25 for $35
Summary: A dwarf plant, ideal for pots and the front of the border. Medium-sized, iris-like pale yellow flowers heavily spotted coral pink mottling. Green leaves complete the picture.
Canna ‘Maudie Malcolm’ is a medium sized Crozy Group cultivar; green foliage, oval shaped, spreading habit; round main stems, coloured green; spikes of flowers are open, self-coloured cerise-pink, throat ivory, staminodes are large, edges frilled, petals red, fully self-cleaning, average bloomer, blooms open in the early morning; fertile both ways, not self-pollinating or true to type, capsules round; rhizomes are thick, up to 3 cm in diameter, coloured white and pink.
This was developed as an hybridized seedling of the classic old variety ‘Der Rosenkavalier’. Its long lasting porcelain pink blossoms have clean habits, the old ones falling free and leaving the new cluster looking fresh. Prolific, with rapidly spreading rhizomes, and roots hardy enough to take temperatures down to zero. The four-foot stalks bloom continuously from early spring until frost. This plant was listed as the greatest plant in the Jan. 87 issue of Flower and Garden. Price $39.00

Maudie Malcolm – 4ft. This hybrid canna resulted from a backcross of “Pride of India”, and the lavender flowers appear a full month before any other hybrid, and then continue until December frosts in South Georgia. Many canna growers consider this hybrid to be the best of all, and its introduction as the “greatest” appeared in the Jan 1987 issue of Flower And Garden magazine.
