This selection is considered to be a naturally occurring hybrid between two species; Canna glauca and Canna indica. It was discovered in Mexico by members of a botanical expedition conducted under the auspices of Yucca Do Nursery of Giddings, Texas, which then introduced it into commerce.
It is a strong runner, and appreciates moist conditions, as it was discovered growing along stream banks in habitat. When grown in containers, (particularly in an arid climate), it benefits from standing in a saucer of water during the growing season.
