List of Canna cultivars

none

This list of Canna cultivars is a gallery of named cultivars of plants in the genus Canna that are representative of the various Canna cultivar groups (i.e., groups of very similar cultivars).

Names of cultivars conform to the rules of the International Society for Horticultural Science (ISHS) Commission for Nomenclature and Cultivar Registration, as laid down in the International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants. They are registered with an International Cultivar Registration Authority (ICRA), which for the genus Canna is the Royal General Bulbgrowers' Association of the Netherlands (KAVB).{{cite book

Foliage group

Cultivars, F1 and F2 hybrids, normally with small species-like flowers, but grown principally for their foliage.{{cite web

Crozy group

A cultivar group where the flower spikes are arranged close together on the stalk and have narrow to medium petals. There is always space between the staminodes when arranged formally, and the labellum (lip) is smaller than the staminodes, and is often twisted or curled.{{cite web

The pioneer of this group was Monsieur Crozy of Lyon, France, who started breeding cannas as early as 1862, from stock originally developed by Théodore Année.{{cite book

They are sometimes referred to as gladiolus flowering cannas, but describing flowers as similar to another genus is not encouraged.{{cite book File:Canna RWallace 01.jpg|Canna 'R.

Italian group

A cultivar group with large, fragile staminodes. Flowers are arranged somewhat loosely, with wide petals, so wide that there is no space between them, when arranged formally. The labellum (lip) is larger, or at least as large, as the staminodes, unlike the other groups where it is smaller and sometimes curled. The stamen is also much wider than that in the other cultivar groups.

Also, used to be called the orchid flowering cannas, or C. × orchiodes L.H. Bailey garden species, although such "pretend" species are now deprecated in favour of Cultivar Groups. In any event, it is difficult to see the similarity between this group and orchids.

Most of this group obtained its larger sized flowers from the introduction of Canna flaccida in the early 1890s by Dr Sprenger in Naples, Italy followed shortly afterwards by Luther Burbank in California, United States, with the same cross.

Australian group

The result of a crossing of a Foliage Group seed parent with an Italian Group pollen parent (C. 'Red Stripe' x C. 'Bengal Tiger'), which resulted in the very large leaves of the Foliage Group allied with large flowers.{{cite news

Premier group

This grouping contains cultivars that have a large, circular shape, without gaps between the staminodes when ordered. These are derived from triploids and crosses with the Italian Group cultivars.{{cite web File:Canna Aida 01.jpg|Canna 'Aida', Howard & Smith 1920s File:AlfredYoung 0181.JPG|Canna 'Alfred Young', Dalebö 2005 File:Canna Eureka 20030828 0040.jpg|Canna 'Eureka' File:KarlaDalebo 0250.jpg|Canna 'Karla Dalebö', Dalebö 2007 File:Canna MaryLayden 0278.jpg|Canna 'Mary Layden', Dalebö 2005 File:President 01.jpg|Canna 'The President', Wintzer 1920

Variegated group

Cultivars with variegated foliage, regardless of what other Group they may belong to.

Conservatory group

The growing conditions in a conservatory are quite specialised and do not suit many cultivars, this group have been selected for thriving in this environment, required features being plant vigor, early flowering, foliar appearance, self-cleaning ability and good propagation qualities. The originator of this group was Robert Armstrong (geneticist) while he was working at Longwood Gardens in the United States in 1967.{{cite web File:Chesapeake 0819.JPG|Canna 'Chesapeake', Armstrong File:Constitution 1788.JPG|Canna 'Constitution', Armstrong File:Canna Lenape 0196.JPG|Canna 'Lenape', Armstrong

Aquatic group

Cultivars that thrive as marginal water plants. Characteristically, they will have lance-shaped foliage and long, thin rhizomes.

Miniature group

Cultivars growing under 0.5m (19") high, the flowers should be in scale to the rest of the plant. File:Canna Puck 002.jpg|Canna 'Puck' File:Canna Flameche 02.jpg|Canna 'Flameche' File:FLORIAN01.JPG|Canna 'Florian' B. Yorke 2007 File:Canna Oberon 02.JPG|Canna 'Oberon', Dalebö 2006

Agriculture group

Cultivars grown selectively for agricultural usage, normally for their very large rhizomes and a high starch yield. See Canna Agriculture Group for more details.{{cite journal File:Canna Edulis 2003072001 0014.jpg|Canna 'Achira Dark' File:Canna Queensland Arrowroot 01.jpg|Canna 'Queensland Arrowroot'

Musaefolia Group

The Musaefolia Group, having large leaves and being either tall or giant in size consists of cultivars whose leaves resemble those of banana plants (genus Musa). Until this group was designated, the cultivars were considered to be members of the Foliage Group.
