  • Canna virus?

    Posted by KesterD on May 26, 2024 at 12:20 pm

    Hi, my canna stuttgart is not looking very healthy with its narrow twisted leaves and I’m concerned that it has the virus especially because I have some Cleopatra that were glorious last year and a new baby tropicanna from GP (thanks Craig) that I really don’t want to loose. Hoping someone can advise and keeping my fingers crossed.

    It’s always harder to spot the virus in cultivars that have streaked leaves like this. I would say that yours looks healthy though. In my experience Canna ‘Stuttgart’ does have much narrower leaves than most others, and the leaves do have a tendency to curl and burn in the sun because the variegation weakens it slightly. I hope that helps?
