Dreaded Canna virus

[Barry]

These General Eisenhower's look like they have the dreaded virus to me but would like a bit of conformation if poss as I have some more Cannas on the way from Hart Canna so don't want to get those infected.;






ta in advance and I have abox of matches ready

Very hard to say, the first new leaves that emerge always look manky. If in any doubt, torch 'em....with those manly chairs of yours

Where did you get them? Are Hart Cannas currently virus free? I'd given up with cannas, but if Hart sell clean specimens I might try a few.

It looks a bit suspect.

It doesn't look good Barry.

I saw a whole display of virused cannas at a garden centre on Friday (wish I'd had my camera) I cant believe suppliers are still shipping them and garden centres are accepting them. Well I can, it's called greed

They seem ok.

They came from ebay last year,the Hart ones should be virus free.
