I'm experimenting with starting canna from seed. Here is my first baby to show itself. This was from seeds
collected from Tropical Sunrise.
I started 5 seeds, following directions I found on another forum. However, so far, only 1 has sprouted after 2 weeks.

2 days ago, I tried again by filing and then soaking 3 more seeds. So far, 2 have shown germination (radicle/white nub showing) . One thing I changed on this second round was to add peroxide to the hot water to see if it would help with germination.I've read that peroxide aids in breaking down the outer shell of seeds so why not try it.

Anyone else have tried growing canna from seed?
