Canna Red Tiger, 1.7 meters tall

Canna Red Tiger upon opening its blooms appear a cerise shade, its flowers are slightly splotched and overlaid with rich magenta tones, this delightful colour appears pink when viewed from a distance (not red as the name implies) and the flowers also appear paler as they age. Canna Red Tiger's flowers are more slender in form when compared to some of the other green and yellow variegated leaf forms. Leaves are fresh green with yellow veining and a yellow center back rib, Red Tiger also shows a prominent burgundy colored margin on new unraveling growth. This outstanding variegated canna easily grows up to 1.7 meters tall in my garden and it also sets seeds. Please be aware that there is a seller on ebay (See Second Image) who is selling and has sold a plant on ebay that is clearly not Red Tiger, it is most likely the more commonly found variety known as canna Phasion, buyers beware.
