June, I winter sowed canna seeds. I started them in Jan. 8 out of 12 made it so I planted them in the garden in June. 7 of the 8 bloomed and I have rizomes to plant next fall. I read where it takes 3 yrs for them to stableize so have to plant 2 more times to see what they will be. You know from seed they do not come true to parent so you never know what you will get. I had some ver y nice ones and most were anywhere from 18inches to 4 ft tall this yr.
Here is the first one to bloom at 18 inches and I named her "Bevs Beauty" I cannot afford to patent will grow for me and friends enjoyment. Hope this helps. You know you have to file the seed down till you see white spot inside or soak in peroxide and water? BEV
