FleudeLisCanna (Tenterfield NSW Australia) on Dec 25, 2014 2:58 PM concerning plant:
This gorgeous canna was introduced by Kent Kelly, Arkansas, USA. Year unknown.
In Australia, it has been incorrectly retailed as a dwarf named 'Tropical Peach' by some outlets.
C. 'Angel Pink' is fertile both ways, readily cross pollinates via pollinators, and grows easily from seed with variable results in plant size and bloom colours.
To produce plants and blooms exactly like the parent plant, it is essential to grow via rhizome divisions.
It is possible to grow this as a "shorter" canna by confining it to pots or garden areas with gravel rather than prime soil content and low watering. It is usually a "medium" height, to 5ft, but will grow taller in prime conditions with heavy fertilizing and watering.
