This does not normally flower in northern climates, but if kept growing over the winter in a heated greenhouse or conservatory it will happily bloom either in late spring or late summer. Canna 'Musaefolia Perfecta' "Stems from 5 ft. to 6½ ft. high. Leaves broad, very firm, of a whiteish green. Flowers small, yellow. Roots fiberous, without rootstocks. Introduced by Théodore Année, Passy, France, EU in 1862." The description above states that it is without rhizomes. No such Canna rhizome challenged cultivar currently exists and therefore this must be considered extinct. Canna 'Musaefolia Rubra' "Stems dark red, 6½ ft. high.

Canna 'Musaefolia Grande' The original five musaefolia hybrids have been recently joined by this cultivar, which may be a synonym of one of the five above, or a new hybrid.
