The flowers are an electric coral pink and contrast perfectly with the foliage. Yellow leaf veins stand out against a red and purple leaf blade. Unlike many Cannas, C. Durban is slow to divide, a characteristic that some with limited space love. The lush foliage is dark green, heavily striped with narrow golden lines from the midrib to the edges of the leaves. We are talking about Canna leaves here - big leaves with bold stripes.
Flowers are solid, bright orange.
