Popmama, love your Cleopatra, but a little confused because I’ve seen it referred to as Yellow King Humbert among other names, and also some list it as a dwarf while others list it as medium in size. What size would you rate it as? I hope to order it next year.

Yellow King Humbert is very different canna. It does not have the bi-colored foliage or the actual split red / red-yellow blooms that Cleopatra has. Sometimes the petals are actually split right down the middle. In this pic some petals are red others yellow with red dappling.

Foliage is bi-colored too

I would rate it as "tall" easily 4 or 5 feet. Here's a grouping with Cleopatra in the front.

I no longer have the names for the other two (the orange one on the right and there is a dark foliage one on the left in the back).

I just looked at Horn Canna Farm and they have Cleopatra labeled as "medium". Karchesky canna says between 5-6 feet.

Thanks for the info! Hopefully I will get the genuine article when I order from sources here in Canada. 😃

Nice job, it looks like a work of art!
