Dwarf ones, 6 pink and 12 yellow. My book says they are eratic to germinate - NOT SO!

last time I started three seeds, all came up, and because I didn't have enough light to give to them, they all turned pale and white and died, so I think light is essentia! I never knew the yellow cannas set seed, I thought they were sterile hybrids

Me too....i started some...not sure on the colors but i started them!!

I got the seeds from Park Seed. I just put them under light before I read this. Thanks!

Just moved some peat pots to bigger cups;
Dahlia 70
Geraniums 50
Rose of Sharon 5
Liatrus 60
Canna 20
Petunias 50

OMG!!!

I can't wait for spring! Anyone close to ND want to come help me plant all these?

OMG!!
i know how ya feel!

oops ! i forgot to say, ive never started cannas by seeds, keep us updated on how they do!

I tried canna from seed this year. I don't want to talk about it.

Webwise - tell me, so I don't do the same thing!

This was today. There's a couple hosta in this picture too. The canna's are the tall sturdy things.

Hey....they look great!!!!

I'm thinking I should put them in bigger cup - with pot mix? The roots are starting to come out the sides of the peatpot.

they look great! ya i would put them in biger pots if the roots were showing.
my iris and lilies are getting big but the roots are staying small.

Patty, I over watered too soon. A spray type watering is sufficient until they are showing a couple of genuine leaves. I damped mine off quicker than a Staffordshire Bull Terrier chews a mobile phone. (That is a totally different story - see 'Critters'). :rolleyes:

I also started (tried) some canna seeds. Should they have been scraped or soaked first? They didn't do anything. Tho I didn't put tem under lights. I had them in the tray with bottom heat. Maybe I'll try lights.

I'm going to have to get another light. Where to put it?

I soaked my seeds overnight - that's what the parkseed packet said to do and they came right up! I think my 'favorite book' says to nick them, but I didn't. I'll have to take another picture - they look great!
