Canna Indica (Large Flowered Hybrids) - Growing Cannas from Canna Indica seeds is extremely rewarding and brings a striking perennial to the landscape that gives a full season of color. This Canna Lily can grow up to 48 inches tall and gives a wonderful display with its colorful foliage and blooms of intense color. Canna seed is one of the largest flower seeds you will find at only 5 seeds per gram. Due to this factor, it is best to soak the flower seeds for 24 - 48 hours before planting to soften the seed coat. For even faster germination, file or nick the Canna Lily seeds before planting. Canna seeds should germinate in 8 - 12 days at 72F.
Cut old spent flowers and seed pods to encourage repeated flowering late into the autumn season. Canna plants should be spaced 9 - 18 inches apart depending on the size of the varieties used and the effect desired. In dry weather, watering Canna Lily plants once a week will insure a stronger growth. Another common name for Canna Indica is Indian Shot.
