Red / Pink Canna Lily Seeds Texas Grown

Description: Canna, also known as canna lily, is a perennial plant native to the tropics. It is known for its large, striking leaves that resemble paddles and its vibrant flowers that grow on spikes in hues of red, orange, yellow, and pink. The plant’s foliage is as appreciated as its blossoms. Cannas have the ability to bloom effortlessly throughout the summer season. Canna indica, a type of canna, is a perennial plant that grows in clusters of stems ranging from 5 to 10 feet in height, with expansive leaves that can reach up to 2 feet in length and 10 inches in width. The stems emerge from a substantial, tuber-like rhizome, giving the plant an appearance akin to a miniature banana plant. Canna Lilies are frequently cultivated on a domestic scale for these benefits, particularly in South America and Southeast Asia. In Australia, it is grown on a smaller scale as a commercial source of arrowroot. The plant is extensively cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions as an ornamental plant, prized for its flowers and appealing leaves. Canna can thrive year-round in Zones 9-11, but can also be brought indoors during colder months to serve as a beautiful potted plant. Should the plants die during a freeze, such as seen in Texas occasionally, they most likely are going to come back each year once it gets warmer again. You can expect to see hummingbirds more often, should you have any of these beautiful birds in the area. Germination of the seeds: Begin by scarifying the seed through vigorous rubbing with sandpaper, and use a small knife to make a few shallow nicks in the hard shell (avoid going too deep).Immerse the seeds in hot water and allow them to soak for 24 hours. If the seeds have not swollen, make a few more shallow nicks and soak in warm (not hot) water for an additional 24 hours.Plant the seeds 1 1/2 inches deep in a well-draining seed starting mix that has been thoroughly mixed.As with any tropical or exotic seed, germination requires patience as it can be unpredictable. Some seeds may sprout within 3 weeks, while others may take up to 9 weeks to sprout. The wait is certainly worthwhile! Shipping Free and only within US mainland.
