How to grow
How To Grow Canna From Seed: 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 10 - 20 days at 76 - 80F.
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.
