How to Start Canna Seeds

While some gardeners are hesitant about growing cannas from seed, the process is straightforward if you follow the right steps.

  • Scarify the Seed Coat: Canna seeds are hard-coated, so gently nicking or filing the seed speeds up germination.

  • Soak Before Planting: A 24-hour soak in warm water helps soften the seed coat.

  • Sowing: Start indoors in a seed tray filled with well-drained soil mix. Place seeds ¼" deep.

  • Warmth: Keep temperatures between 70–75°F for best germination.

  • Transplanting: Move seedlings outdoors once danger of frost has passed.
