We have been told that adding extra magnesium (Epsom Salts) to the soil will 
help prevent the foliage burning... we will see>>>


On the Plants Delight sight they mention under Canna Stuttgard that applying 
Epsom Salts could help prevent foliage burning....has anyone tried this?  I 
have trouble with some of my lighter foliaged Cannas having this 
problem...one in particular is the C. Pretoria.  Does anyone know why and/or 
if the Epsom Salt would help?

Also - I saw the picture of Canna 'Australia'....it reminds me of the Canna 
'Intrigue'....could this be the same canna with two different names like the 
C. Phaison' aka C. 'Tropicana' ?
