'Los Angeles' semi-dwarf?

I wanted something about the same height in a shade of pink for around my water fountain and I thought the Los Angeles canna I saw at the nursery might fit the bill. I'm worried now that I see it can get up to 6' and that is a bit higher then I wanted. I could move them and find something else but don't know what I could use. I guess I could also just let them go out the summer and then move when dormant also. Any experience with this semi-dwarf variety?

Also, I'm concerned that one of the bulbs wasn't good. The others I planted all had a hard bulb but this was mainly soft and rooty, not mushy or gooey so I don't think it was rotten but how can you tell whether or not they are bad? This was the only one that didn't have an eye on it at all. The others had 2-3 eyes.

Thank you from a canna newbie. The only other one I grow is Cleopatra (my dogs name).
