Gary, from what I have read, there is no difference. In england/europe they call it durban. In the US they call it Durban,phasion, or tropicanna. The name tropicanna is the patent name. Edna

Hi Garry Ednam was correct Tropicanna, Phaision, African Sunset, and sometimes Durban refer to the same cultivar. There is also another cultivar that has the same type of folige but has red flowers rather than the orange flowers that you would normally expect and is commonly sold under the name Durban.

There were some interesting legal wranglings regarding the naming and patent of Tropicanna. Further details regarding this can be found on Hart Canna's website in the UK. Quite an interesting read.

Cheers,

All the same..........just change the name to suit your zone. Many of the so called cultivars are just duplicates renamed.
