 Canna Black Knight, the best, true red flowered canna. Very popular for its eye catching rich red flower and great looking foliage. Ht to 6 ft 1.8m. Leaves are quite slender and very attractive, bluish-green with some blush red. Often mis-sold as a dark leaved variety with a red/orange flower.  This cultivar is not among the hardiest and young propagated plants often show a patch of stress spots on a leaf or two usually in hot/dry conditions.  These never cover a whole leaf and only occurr in dry atmosphere growing situations. Such plants go on to produce the good looking leaves expected and new shoots produced on established plants do not show these spots.
