How to germinate Canna seeds the easy way. No files, no nail clippers, just boiling water.
Hope this video helps you get maximum germination from your Canna seeds in a quick and easy manner.
FIRST: I LOVE YOU ACCENT! . Second: I tried your method and it worked! I from 20 seeds I got 14 and they are around 6 inches tall in 1 month.
Fantastic method! Less than a week after the boiling water treatment, i have about 30 seedlings. most interesting is that the seeds were over 10 years old!! Thank you.
Tried your method and it works wonderfully. I reviewed others where they talk about filing the seeds and knew I wouldn’t do it. I searched for other methods and found yours and thought “ that I can do”. I have 30 seeds coming up in plastic cups. Hoping to gifts friends with some as I payed $8 USD a piece for mine.
Fantastic, that's great feedback, thank you
I tried this method and it works, thank you 😊
Thanks mate I’ve done the boiling water method and placed the warm water in the propagator and during the day take the lid of hopefully it will work just harvested my canna seeds
brilliant! I did this last year and it worked like a charm! Trying to nick or sand the seed is very difficult and time consuming...Thanks for the tip!
Lovely garden.
Hi Kris would have like u to have shown how the seeds were after u had covered them in the warm water.
Cannes are my favourite plant. I grow them in tubs & overwinter them just with wood mulch on the top. I do the same with my ginger lillies but these are now planted in the garden. They have really taken off & doing so we. Thanks for the videos watching them closely
This is my first year with Cannes and I have received so many compliments that I feel obligated to grow them again. I am in NJ and it does get cold at times here but not really a deep freeze all winter; some winters are mild. Since my Cannes are in the ground, do you think I can cut them just above the ground and lay a heavy pile of mulch over them to protect them. They are planted along the side of the house and won’t get much wind. As a backup, I do have seeds stored up. What do you think?
I would dig them up and store them over the winter. There are lots of videos on TH-cam that show how to do that. Good luck.
Nice tips in this video Kris, thank you 👍
Brilliant!
Thank you

Thank you. This worked.
Another interesting video, thanks! Towards the end you say “with the right species”, please could you recommend which? Cheers!
Best tip ever :) thx!
Made a weed tea with some seeded weed last night this morning all seeds sprouted out of the weed tea bag😂
Thanks Kris
Gonna try it today
Why dont u do a mini Eden project Kris, your whole back garden into a greenhouse, get folk to support u through patreon, just an idea. 😉
And watering?
Kris, Thanks for the tip it took be ages to file the shells. when would you sow your seed.
I sow mainly in March. Could do a bit earlier if I had the room and light.
Hi Kris, this worked treat for me. 75% rate so far. Planting..dies the sprout go straight down or to the side? Thks. I'm going to use a regular potting soil with some perlite, on a heat mat. Should be ok? Thks
I have not tried the boiling water method and I wondered the same. What direction do seeds get planted. I have 1 growing very well and didn't really pay attention to direction either. I use a heat Mat too. Keep covered until the leaf hits the plastic dome then take it off.
@@chadvollrath1760 I think I planted my seedlings to the side. All came up. Even a seedling I broke off accidentally pushed out a new leaf. Aggressive growers. I was up to my neck in Canna. Great value.
From seeds in boiling water to plants. In between??
In between was summer. Their growth was shown in my weekly videos
Im just wondering Why did you have the jar on the floor and not on the counter or stove?
very helpfull
I've a set of seeds sitting on a window sill in the house and a second set in the garage under light (it's warmer in garage). It's been a week and there's no sign of germination. The outermost layer of the seed is starting to fall apart but that's it. Any suggestions what's going wrong? Am I just impatient? All were scarified and it's July in TX.
I don’t get it after u said couple of day … u don’t mind pls write what u said
Just came across your videos. I was wondering at what time of the year do you start your seeds off
February and March
Once germinated, do cannas need to be on a heat mat or will they grow fine in a sunny conservatory in spring?
Yes fine off the heat mat when germinated if the area is warm and stays above 12c ideally
Hi good idea! Why do you have to keep changing the water 3 times a day?
That's optimum but you can change it less but it can get a bit smelly
When they begin to root what end gets pointed up or how do you out them in soil. You never covered that.
The shoots will grow up.
In zone 7 Arkansas, Can I start seeds using this method in fall right after harvest in a green house or should I wait till spring? Growing Musifolia.
I'd wait until Spring. :)
I was told cannas do not bloom the same year when grown from seed. Is this true?
They do in a good year but will flower better in year2 and 3
hi kris i have done all you showed in video how deep do i bury the seeds and i will have them in heated propagator thank kay
About a cm or 2.
o000omusico000o So curious, did this work out for you. I’m afraid to ruin my seeds with hot water.
@@tellwel3767 yes so of canna seeds worked ok and growning well
o000omusico000o Thank you for the reply.
nice video. what were the purple flowered plants in the backgound at 4:10?
Thanks it's Cleome. Spider flower
Can you recommend a place where i could buy some guaranteed virus free seed, cheers.
As far as I'm aware the seeds don't carry the virus so any source should be fine.
How old are the seeds? Can you use new seeds which are soft?
The seeds are hard ish when fresh and very hard when dried out. Fresh seeds are best if fully ripe.
@@YorkshireKRIS Thanks. So the fresh seeds will work?
In my country the fresh seeds are very soft. I am in a desert ;-)
Thank you so much.
@@YorkshireKRIS I feel stupid, I thought the pods were the seeds. ;-) However when I open the pods they are empty. I do not have any seeds inside.
I have tried from 5 different plants.
