    This is a dwarf canna.

    This one is a bit "slower" one compared to the other Tropical dwarf cannas. It emerged later than Tropical sunrise and is red. It is also smaller and more compact. It started blooming much later. It only bloomed 3-4 times over the summer and stopped in late august/early september or so.
