Canna × ehemannii is an early cultivar of canna, believed to be a hybrid between Canna indica and Canna iridiflora. Its name is sometimes spelt Canna × ehemanii, although it has the English name Ehemann's canna.[2] It has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.[3]
The name is of doubtful standing, being treated as a "nomen subnudum" by, for example, the World Checklist of Selected Plant Families,[1] meaning that it was published without an adequate description.
It has large leaves, and tall, arching stems, carrying drooping flowers of a reddish-purple colour from early summer onwards.[2] It has been described as looking somewhat like a cross between a banana and a fuchsia.[4]
