dave said:I'll say this about Stuttgart: of all the cannas I've grown, it was the hardest of them all. It never had a lot of vigor for me, it was excruciatingly slow to grow, and it's the only canna that actually didn't survive its first year with me. I was disappointed in its performance given how beautiful it is.

Same here.

Mine grew, but not at all vigorously, and it never produced a bloom stalk. It would still have been on my "keep" list, but the brown edges in the cream variegation turned me off. I was happy to see that this year several responsible vendors are now portraying this plant without touch ups to hide the browned areas in their promotional pictures.
