Hybrids of Canna glauca are a little less overwhelming than many others in cultivation. Most of them grow 4-6 feet tall and have relatively slender rhizomes and stems and smaller leaves. Both leaves and stems are an attractive blue to grey green in color. 'Erebus' displays salmon pink flowers in summer and fall. It can be completely immersed in ponds or grown in the open garden with no more attention than other cannas.
