Hi Caren~
They should have about 65-95% germination rate. Seeds should be scarified (filed down in one place til you see the white),and placed in soil Keep moist and temp between 70-80*F. Sprouts should appear in about 7 days.

If you have any extra seeds let me know. I will send an sasbe.

Thank you debnes, do you know if they will be true or are they a mixture of the mother plant and what ever it was pollinated with?

I think that's the fun of growing seeds... You're going to get either of those.. If they were the only cannas, they will probably be more true to the mom and dad plants. If they were in a mix.. they could vary a little.
