How to Start Canna Seeds
While cannas are often sold as rhizomes, growing them from seed offers many advantages—cost savings, stronger plants, and access to special varieties like Cannova® Yellow. However, canna seeds have a hard coat that requires a little preparation for successful germination.

Quick Germination Tips:
-
Scarify the Seeds – Lightly nick or sand the hard seed coat to let moisture in.
-
Soak Overnight – Place the seeds in warm water for 24 hours before sowing.
-
Warm Soil – Keep seed trays at 70–75°F to encourage sprouting.
-
Start Indoors Early – Begin 8–10 weeks before your last frost date.
-
Transplant Carefully – Move outdoors once danger of frost has passed.
By following these steps, you’ll achieve higher germination rates and stronger seedlings ready to burst into bloom.
Growing Cannova® Yellow in the Garden
Once established, Cannova® Yellow is surprisingly easy to care for and rewards gardeners with a long season of bold tropical flowers.
-
Sun Requirements – Full sun produces the best flowers and richest foliage.
-
Soil – Well-draining, fertile soil with consistent moisture is ideal.
-
Watering – Cannas are not drought-tolerant; water deeply and regularly.
-
Fertilizing – Apply a balanced fertilizer every few weeks during the growing season.
-
Deadheading – Removing spent blooms encourages continuous flowering.
-
Winter Care – In frost-free regions, cannas return each year. In colder areas, dig and store rhizomes in a cool, dry place until spring.
