Story of this Seed:

CANNA IS A STAPLE PLANT IN OUR LANDSCAPE. IT IS ONE OF THOSE GREAT "PASS ALONG" PLANT AND GROWS WELL EITHER FROM SEED OR RHIZOME.

Growing Tips:

HOW I PLANT THE SEEDS IN ZONE 9B. CANNA PLANTS ARE VERY EASY AND REWARDING TO GROW FROM SEED.
THE SEEDS ARE VERY HARD. I SOAK THE SEEDS FOR 24 HOURS. PLACE ONE SEED IN EACH POT OR CELL CONTAINING PREMOISTENED POTTING MEDIUM. LIGHTLY PRESS TO ENSURE GOOD SEED TO SOIL CONTACT. PLACE THE SEEDS IN A WARM LOCATION AND DO NOT ALLOW THE SOIL TO DRY COMPLETELY. ONCE SEEDLINGS ARE SET MULTIPLE SETS OF LEAVES THEY CAN BE TRANSPLANTED INTO LARGER CONTAINERS OR INTO THE GROUND. SEEDS CAN BE PLANTED DIRECTLY INTO THE GROUND AFTER YOUR LAST FROST DATE.
