After many years of attempting to create a cultivar with 5 petals, instead of the normal 4 petals, Thor Dalebø of Claines Canna has achieved his goal.
A new Canna cultivar called Canna ‘Vilamoura’ has been registered with the KAVB and Thor hopes that this cultivar will become the foundation for many more cultivars sharing this new 5 petal, plus stamen and stigma, attribute. Already crosses have been made with several other cultivars that can provide different colourings and foliage attributes and time will tell how successful these crosses will be.
