Canna 'Zulu Pink' - This medium sized Canna grows to only 3 feet tall but it makes a dramatice statement in the garden. The short broad leaves are dark reddish-black with a smokey-gray cast and provide a beautiful foil for the flared-open pink flowers. One of our favorite Canna lilies. We received this outstanding plant from Herb Kelly. It was given to him as 'Zulu Pink' but we have never found this name listed in any references. The Zulu series was a group of Canna raised by Marcelle Sheppard of Marcelle's Crinums of Vidor, Texas. Most likely this plant is the same as what is now listed as 'Zulu Princess' in Ian Cooke's new book "Cannas" although he lists this plant as a tall plant whereas 'Zulu Pink' has remained under 3 feet for us.
This information about Canna 'Zulu Pink' displayed on this web page is based on research we have conducted in our horticultural library and from reliable online resources. We also will relate observations we have made about it as it grows in our nursery gardens and other gardens visited, as well how our crops have performed in containers in the nursery field. Where appropriate, we will also incorporate comments that we receive from others and we welcome hearing from anyone with additional information, particularly if they can share cultural information that would aid others in growing this plant.
