Canna Omega Hybrid

Louisville, KY

I have been working on breeding some really interesting larger foliage cannas. This form is a hybrid off of omega it keeps the similar omega leaf the main difference seems to be how it grows. It does get huge but not really the foliage. The leaves tend to stay around 7 feet tall but the flower spikes go a lot higher usually 8 to 12 feet tall. The flowers are just a tad bit bigger than the regular omega but instead of peach to orange these are more pink with some yellow blotching around the edges.

Here is a pic of this same plant last season. The habit is very different than most cannas holding its flowers so far above its foliage. I had tried to propagate a lot of this last season but due to last years weather and this spring. I lost a lot of this plant. I still have one nice plant growing. Hopefully I can build up my stock on this one again.
