My grandma had tall, beautiful cannas in her back yard. I have lovely memories of waking up at her house and looking out the back window to see humming birds inspecting her cannas. She passed a little over a year ago and I had saved some seeds from her cannas. Thanks so much for this video! I can't wait for her little seeds to sprout!

Hi Theresa. Thanks for the comment. Ultimately, it doesn't really matter which gets planted first.The embryo (white part) will always grow towards the light. As it grows bigger, roots will start forming from the sides. We like planting it upwards so that it'll poke through the soil that much quicker. Hope this explains it in more detail. Good luck with your 1st time growing from seeds. Feel free to ask us any questions. Thanks for watching! Jackie and Dan

Amazing! I love this method and I am going to try it. I live in the mountains of Virginia and I have a lot of outdoor space to take advantage of. I have been naturalizing the area for years and I am so fortunate to have some type of flower in bloom for about 9 months out of the year. I have always loved the exotic look of canna lilies, but was told that they would not survive our winters. Year before last I came across about a dozen canna lilies at a local nursery and thought that I would give them a try. When fall came I cut them back and lightly mulched them. I was pleasantly surprised when they not only survived the winter, but bloomed profusely. My grandchildren love working in my gardens and they often help with harvesting seeds. They especially enjoy harvesting canna lilies because they have pods from which they pop out the hard round seeds. We managed to take 143 seeds last fall and it’s now time to start them indoors. I watched a couple of videos using boiling water to crack the seeds, but they warned to only leave the seeds in the boiling water for about 20 seconds and 20 seconds doesn’t allow for any mistakes. I am so glad to have just found your channel. This method seems to take the guess work out and allows a faster, visible germination. Also, I have used the seeds/wet towel method before. My grandchildren are coming to spend the weekend and so we are going to get started with our seeds. I think it’s going to be a fun time. Wish us success! 🪴

Hi Delilah: Thanks for the comment. So glad you found our video informative. We have another video on germinating seeds but we're finding our viewers like this method the best. As far as leaving them in the ground - we're so glad that worked out for you, it's always a big risk, in certain climates, to leave them in the ground during winter. We've had limited success with that. But also we're in NJ., where winters can be totally unpredictable. We didn't want to take the chance of losing any cannas so we've been digging them up and storing them inside during the winter for years. You're further south so you should be good but we like hearing that you're protecting the rhizomes with mulch. If you ever want to store the rhizomes for the winter, we have a great video showing you how to do that: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qp2cp5qqsdu8j4k.html . Best of luck in your 2023 growing season and enjoy the time with the kids. Get them involved in gardening while they're young. ;-) When your plants start to bloom, please send us pictures of them - we'd love to see them. Feel free to post them on our FaceBook page: facebook.com/JDGardensNJ2 Thanks for watching! Jackie and Dan

Lmao oh yes me too. I tried the needle nose, and lost so many.. So I got brave, but carefully just hold them in my finger tips. Yes I've dremeled a finger couple times till I got the hang of it.. But one question still remains. Where is the best spot on the seed to scar it? Side or tip? I usually do the side, with success, and sometimes on the end/top, with success.

Thanks for responding. Yes, I did scarify the seeds enough to see plenty of white under the black shell. I utilized the exact method you described, with a pliers to hold the seeds and a file to scrape until plenty of white is seen. IDK then. They're still in a small tub of water as after 7 days in the damp towel didn't work. So, we'll see.

@michaelpurcell3360 11 ай бұрын

We really appreciate your videos, and your keeping up with the comments section, very helpful. We brought rhizomes with us from a 100+ year old stand of red canna lilies when we moved from Dahlonega, GA to Toccoa, GA in late 2021. They did well in the summer of 2022 and we collected about 50 seeds. They also overwintered well in the ground with mulching even though we had one night that went down to 5 deg. We started trying to germinate the seeds in early May and initially met with zero success with information we found online. We soaked them for days, put some of them in soil, allowed them to get dry again, and then tried to score the seed coat, but nothing seemed to work. By mid June we were ready to give up, but then we found your KZfaq video, and using the scoring and baggie method (I even went out and bought a file similar to your square one) we were successful in starting a number of seeds. So here it is in late July and we have 14 plants that are between 5" and 12" tall and have been up-potted to 6" pots. Our dilemma is whether to put them out this year or to keep them inside over the winter and put them out next spring. If we put them out in August will the weather be too hot for the young plants, and will they develop rhizomes getting such a late start. Also, next spring we want to germinate more seeds and put the plants out about mid May. How early do we need to start? What size are your new plants when you put them out in the garden?

@jdgardensnj4563 11 ай бұрын

Hi Michael. Thanks for the comment. We're glad you enjoyed the video and found it helpful. Glad it worked out for you. No, planting in August will not be a problem. Remember, cannas are tropical plants and love full sun. Our greenhouse gets well over 100 degrees and our cannas are growing like crazy...just remember to water daily. All cannas develop rhizomes. The question is...how big are they going to get? Cannas grow extremely quick, and you still have plenty of time in the growing season. Our 1st frost is sometime in Mid to late Novemer. Not sure what GA is but I'm sure you still have 2-3 months. Mod May is perfect to plant in the garden and if you want them ready, I would say to start the seeds early to mid-February indoors. Rhizomes, I would wait until sometime in mid-April. As far as the sizes of our cannas, when we plant them...it varies. Some plants grow extremely quick because they're a larger variety, like the Tropicana series or President, which grew like wildfire this year for us. And smaller ones like the Cannasol series, take longer. But we would say to plant nothing smaller than 12 inches. We hope this helps. If you have any other questions, please feel free to reach out to us. Thanks for watching! Jackie and Dan

@michaelpurcell3360 8 ай бұрын

@@jdgardensnj4563 We did put the new canna lily plants out about mid august, and many of them have done quite well. The mature plants are a full 6 feet tall but the new ones have only reached about 3 to 4 feet, and four of them have put on their first blossom. Pretty good for a mere 2-1/2 months. Several of the new plants have also put out a second shoot, so hopefully their rhizomes will over winter as well as the more mature plants. The original stand of these plants, in Dahlonega, GA, which has been there in the same spot for over 100 years, and from which we dug the rhizomes which we brought with us to Toccoa, are all red. We stopped by to see them and harvest some seeds when we were visiting in Dahlonega in September, and we didn't see anything but red blossoms. The interesting thing is that of the four plants raised from seed which blossomed, two are red and the other two are yellow dappled with little red spots, very beautiful. I read somewhere that canna lilies grown from seed can be cross pollinated, and we do have a neighbor about five houses up the street who have a yellow canna lily in their yard, but my wife thinks it is more likely the result of a recessive gene. Any thoughts on that?

Hi @deborahjohnston267 . Thanks for the comment. Yea, soaking it is not going to do anything for you. If you would wait for the water to open up that shell, you'd be waiting quite some time, lol. In nature, canna seeds break down over the course of different season: the heat of summer and the cold of winter eventually wears down the shell. We help this process out by breaking the shell, whether either cutting the shell or filing it down, like the way we do in this video - exposing the embryo to water. Give filing it down a try and i think you'll be surprised on how well it works. We also did another video a few years ago, showing different ways of scarring and soaking the seeds.

Many thanks for a great video, has been an immense encouragement to myself. I would like to try to grow colocasia from seed and would appreciate any advise regarding soil and depth of planting. Are they easy to propagate. Thank you once again for a really helpful video.

@jdgardensnj4563 8 ай бұрын

Hi @poggywoggy123 . Thanks for the comment. Obviously, as you can see, germinating them was extremely easy. As far as propagating them, it all depends on the conditions. You don't want your soil too wet or too dry. You don't want to grow them in your garage or outdoors, if it's too cold. Remember, the seedlings can be very sensitive to the elements so try to make it as comfortable for them as possible. As for the soil, you can use any kind of starter mix. Jiffy has a good one and so does ProMix. But if you only have regular potting mix, that will be fine. I would just tell you to screen it to get the bigger materials out of it such as twigs, and bark, etc. The key is that the soil be nice and loose so the seedlings have an easy time to grow through it. Make sure you don't pack down your starter try. Hope this helps, If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to us. Thanks for watching! Jackie & Dan

Canna seeds can be tricky. It's important that you have a good score on them to allow the embryo to grow out. Our suggestion to people is to do small batches at a time so you don't waste your seeds all at once, as you're getting your technique down. Thanks for watching! Jackie & Dan

Great tips. I recently got a few king humbert cannas from the vendor you guys recommended. My question is, what type of fertilizer and how much do you use when growing from rhizomes? Currently they are in 6” plastic pots and are hanging out by the slider door inside the house. Here in Illinois we have crazy weather so I don’t want to leave them outside. Thanks for the content. I’m enjoying learning and starting my collection.

Hi Valentin. Glad to meet another canna lover ;-) When we start from rhizomes, we don't like to give it any fertilizer ... just good starter mix. But once it gets bigger, and we transplant it to a bigger pot or in the ground, then we like to Miracle Gro Shake n Feed. Follow the directions on the package - it'll tell you exactly how much to give depending on the size plant ... usually about 1/4 scoop. Remember, Yellow King Humbert cannas as sterile so they'll produce seed pods but NO seeds. So if you want it around next year, you'll have to dig up the rhizomes. Good luck with it - it's a beautiful canna. Thanks for watching!

Hello there! Fabulous video! Thank you for sharing it. I do have a question: I sowed some canna seeds today- ‘before’ I watched the video and noticing the hard coat I decided to score it with a pet nail scissor. It worked a little too easily and the seeds cracked in half. I don’t think I damaged the embryo (?) but I’m wondering if it’s worth waiting for them to sprout or if I should start over. They’re inside on a heat mat. Also, I may have pushed them in too deep too into the soil. Do you think they have a chance? Thanks for your help!

@jdgardensnj4563 5 ай бұрын

Hi @neetumalik6144 . Thanks for the comment. So, I understand you broke the shell open and the embryo came out, did you soak the embryo in water and get it to germinate? Or did you just plant it in the soil? If it didn't germinate and you just planted it in the soil, chances are that it won't germinate in the soil so I don't imagine you're going to have much luck. The purpose of scoring the shell is to expose the embryo in order to get it to germinate, like you see in this video. When the embryos germinate it'll look like little roots coming out of it ... just like you see in this video. We also made a short showing what they should look like after 5 days, you can see it here: kzfaq.infoU6nJlo6NxMI?si=3_CL5WwT2CU27d-H . Hope this helps.

@jdgardensnj4563 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Nancy. Thanks for subscribing and watching! Here's the thing with cannas in this area (Northeast) - you have a 50/50 shot of it surviving. Some winters it'll be mild and you can get by but other winters can be very cold and can kill them off. Remember, the canna lily is a tropical plant. This is why people in our area, dig up the rhizomes in the winter. You wouldn't want to have to buy new ones each Spring if you didn't have to...that could get costly. If you're interested in saving the rhizomes at the end of the season, we have a series on Storing your rhizomes for the winter. Good Luck! Again, thanks for watching!

@jdgardensnj4563 Жыл бұрын

Hi @Banshee421x . Thanks for the comment. We use fabric pots all the time ... they're great. But I think when starting off with germinated canna seeds, I would start with a small container, like we show in the video. Then once they're established, then you can move them into whatever size pot. Trust us, they're going to grow into it. As far as how late you can plant in the year - it depends on where you're from. Here in NJ, we usually don't plant any later than late September because the nights will get cooler and the seedlings will have a harder time getting established. So you should still have plenty of time. Remember, depending on the frost of the season, cannas can last well into November or early December. Hope this helps.

Hi @aym280 . Thanks for the comment. Well, we don't recommend using compost for seedlings. There's a little too much organic material that could stress out the germinated seeds. But if you're asking about the starter mix that we use, any off-the-shelf starter mix will do. Most starter mixes have a high concentration of peat moss, perlite and vermiculite. If you go with Jiffy ... they make a great product. You can get that at Home Depot or Lowes. Even Miracle Grow has it's own starter mix, which is good too. And if you can find it, Pro-Mix is a really good one to use. Hope this helps. If you have any other questions, please feel free to reach out to us. Jackie and Dan

Does it matter what color the seeds are if they’ve been harvested from the same plant? Mine are black, brown Or mustard in color. Can all of them still be used?

Hi @0dysyeestanhope-wilkerson612 . Thanks for reaching out to us. Yes, the only seeds that would be viable are the black ones.

So, if you don't have the space to grow them indoors, you might want to start a little later because you're probably not going to be able to get them in the ground until sometime in mid-May ... at least here in NJ. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching! Jackie and Dan

What type of cloth to use?

@jdgardensnj4563 Жыл бұрын

Hi Jerry: Thanks for your question. If you're asking about what we lay the seeds on in the video, believe it or not, it's a simple padded dish drying mat. But any kind of thick fabric, like an old towel, will work fine. The whole purpose is to stop the motion of the seed when it hits the table. Thanks for watching! Jackie and Dan

Do canna lilys grow true to seed in terms of flower color?

@jdgardensnj4563 9 ай бұрын

Hi @anthonyleggio4877 . Thanks for the comment - sorry for the delayed response. For the most part - YES, they'll stay true to the original plant's color. But every now and then you might come across a hybrid, like a Fire Dragon, for instance that the only way you get the original color, is coming from the rhizome. But 9 times out of 10, you'll get the original color. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching! Jackie & Dan

Hi @Shabbyie . So sorry for the delayed response. Thanks for reaching out. Well obviously, it'll depend on when you start them but let's say you start them sometime at the end of March, you should be in bloom by early July and stay that way till around the end of October/early November (depending on the weather). Hope this helps. Thanks for watching! Jackie & Dan

Hello. Thank you for your interest in our canna seeds. We generally don't ship outside the U.S. however we would be willing to make an exception if you'd want. We did hear that cannas are difficult to get in the UK so we can put together a special order for you on our Etsy site: JDGardensNJ. What did you have in mind? We do have a variety pack of 20 different kinds of cannas. Feel free to contact us there or here, if you're interested. Thanks for watching! Jackie and Dan

When you score the seeds do you have to make sure you see the white seed and not just the beige under the black seed or does it matter?

@jdgardensnj4563 Жыл бұрын

Hi Megan. Thanks for the comment. It doesn't necessarily matter reaching the center of the seed (embryo). The purpose of breaking the outer (black) shell is to start hydrating (germinating) the embryo. We like scoring to the center so it helps speed up the process and allows an opening for the embryo to grow that much quicker. Hope this helps. If you have any other questions, feel free to reach out to us. Thanks for watching! Jackie & Dan

My lily seeds all formed mold when using the paper towel in a bag technique, what am I doing wrong?

@jdgardensnj4563 Жыл бұрын

Hi @AwesomePawsome2012: Thanks for the comment. Sorry to hear that. There are a couple of things that could have went wrong: 1) if you leave them too long inside the bag, that'll give more time for mold to form 2) if where you stored them is too warm - Remember, you want to store them in a cool dark place. We place them in that never-used cabinet above the refrigerator ;-) 3) you might be spraying them with too much water - they don't have to be totally drenched, it just has to be a little moist inside the bag. But all is not lost, even if they developed a little mold, as long as the seeds germinated, you can still plant them. Chances are very good that they're going to grow. Hope this helps. Please reach out to us with any other questions. Thanks for watching! Jackie and Dan

Hi @JackieCoffeyCaruso : Thanks for the comment. LOVE the name ;-) . We've seen this before even with some of our own seeds. It's one of two things: first is that you're giving it to much water - you want to keep it moderately moist and only spray it when it's getting dried out, obviously too much moisture brings in mold. The second thing is it might be too hot where you're storing them - you generally want a cool dry place. That's why we like to keep ours in the cabinet above the refrigerator that nobody ever uses ;-) . We also have another video on seed germination that might help you out.

Hi @samanthaf6482 . Sorry for the delayed response. Thanks for the comment. I'm not sure what you mean by "tiny worms". Could it be that you're referring to the little white embryo growing out of the seed? If that's the case, then that's normal - that's the embryo expanding and it was able to germinate.

Hi @ronaldfranck6960 . Thanks for the comment. Warm or cool, it really doesn't matter too much. We just tell people "Cool" and that could be room temperature because if it's too warm of a spot, then it can start developing mold a little quicker.

@jdgardensnj4563 7 ай бұрын

Hi @TBiggs-lo5zg . Thanks for the comment. Sorry to hear that. We found that most of our viewers found that method to be the most effective way. Is it that they're not germinating at all? Or are they not growing well after you plant them? If they're not germinating, I would think that you're not scoring them deep enough to get to the embryo or that they're not getting enough moisture inside the bag to help them germinate. You don't have to drench them or soak them but you do want to keep some good moisture in the bag to help them germinate. Hope this helps.
