Canna Seeds

Note: Germination instructions are not on seed packets, follow the instructions below for starting seed.

Canna seed has a good germination rate of typically 65% to 95% depending on species/variety. The seed stores well.

Canna will flower almost as quickly if grown from seed as when grown from rhizomes, and plants grown from seed usually flower the same year if started early in the year. The seed of cannas is extremely hard, and needs to be "scarified" before sowing (the easiest way to scarify seed is to use a workshop file, holding the seed in workshop pliers, until the internal white just shows through.

Soak seeds for 24 hours in warm water.
Plant 1/2-3/4" deep. Seed germinates much quicker, andwith a better germination rate, under warm conditions (70F to 80F).
