Thanks David that explains this statement from a US website
"This Curt Wallace hybrid is still regarded as the closest to white
(as judged by a team of color-blind nurserymen) that is available in
the canna family"
So it sounds like caveat emptor on eBay offerings of pure white cannas
at $5000:-)


Come on Rupert, never say never. You could set up a breeding programme
and eventually make a killing!

These people list one the called 'Creamy White' but they admit it's pale
yellow really.
