Here are the first blooms from the seedlings I started in February.The plants are already sending up new shoots, so it won't be long and I will have to find a home in the ground for them! I love cannas of all colors, but I think I've found a new favorite.
Those blooms are beauties.I don't think I have white I have all kinds of colors but one may be about to bloom that I got last year and it hasn't bloomed yet so maybe its white .
I purchased the seeds from Park Seed. The packet was five seeds and all had germinated, but the puppy had eliminated two of them early spring. I don't have much experience growing canna from seed, so I am wondering how true the seeds collected will bloom from these.
That does it!! Now I've just GOT to have some white cannas - shame on you for tempting me with piccies of yours.
those are beautiful an although I like cannas I like them in someone elses yard. I don't believe I've ever seen white either. Thanks for sharing.
I have never grown Canna from seed but I will be ordering some seeds for this one and give it a try. I think they will look really good planted with the Canna Tropicana I was given last summer.
OOOh, those are awesome! Gonna have to look through my 'Parks' book and get me some. See B.G you just started a good thing.
Just a quick note on the seeds. They are very hard and round. I have a pair of nail clippers I use just for seed starting. You will need to nick it as you would morning glory seeds, soak overnight and then plant them. They sprout really quickly. I totally agree with you Toni.....perfect compliment to the Tropicana!! This white variety from Parks is 18" - 24" in height.
Well, Buda... looks like you have started something BIG. Those are beautiful. I didn't know there were white cannas. Guess everyone will be showing pics of their white cannas next year (or sooner).Thanks for sharing.
