Elegant Ermine

Canna 'Ermine'

Ermine is such a delight as a potted canna. It always has a choice location on my patio. I think it does better if you can leave it in a pot over the winter because the rhizomes are hideously tiny.

Ermine is a dwarf canna about 2 - 2 1/2 feet tall.

Recently I divided my Ermine. Imagine my horror when the whole batch went down with transplant shock! I guess with the small rhizomes, the divisions couldn't sail through the process as well as cannas with beefier rhizomes.
