Just for some more info on this canna, it was introduced by Dr. van der Fleet in 1894.
It is fertile in both seed and& pollen, but not "self pollinating" and therefore requires a pollinator. Results from seed may well differ from the parent plant, and the only way to get a plant exactly like the parent is by rhizome divisions.
C. 'Alsace' is not known by any other name to my knowledge.
