Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Cannas generalis, substantially as described and illustrated herein, characterized particularly as to novelty by its unique cantaloupe color among dwarf cannas, its apple green foliage with the ability to retain its health, vigor, and color throughout the season, its compact dwarf habit, its tendency to shed spent blooms quickly, its profuse, long term bloom display, its capacity for rhizome storage, and its slow tendency to set seed. These characteristics establish this cultivar as one well suited as a garden or pot plant, and it also has no unusual susceptibility to the traditional Canna diseases and insects.
