C. 'Una': Beautiful and "eye-poppingly" hot pink .. and SO little about her history to be found!
C. 'Una' is a medium height canna with green upright foliage. The leaves do have thin white margins. Otherwise, it is much like many cannas with green foliage ... but those flowers!
Clumps will spread to less than 3ft over 3yrs, so it does not "run" too quickly. It easily propagates from division and flowers appear from the first leaf rolls to grow. No waiting with this girl!
She has fertile seeds and LOTS of them in each pod. I've had 16 in 1 pod, and they grow easily.
C. 'Una' is the seed parent to C. 'Annjee' (pollen parent unknown) and is the seed grandparent to cannas such as C. 'Polonaise', C. 'Prelude,' and others, no doubt.
