Re: Canna Lily seed germination
Is "chip" the same as "nick"?

Not personal experience, but...
Powell says to sow seeds 1/4 inch deep 2-3 weeks b4 last frost in the
spring. Germ is erratic and takes from 21 to 365 days. Chip seed and
soak
in warm water for 48 hrs. After sowing, provide 70-75 F. Plant
seedlings
outside several weeks after last frost when soil is warm and temps stay
above 50.

Subject: [CHAT] Canna Lily seed germination
DH has a hybrid canna he placed in our pond(s) and this year noted
that
it has seed pods. He is interested in attempting to grow them from
seed
(even though I told him it would be much easier to simply divide the
clumps!). Any of you tropical/water gardener folks have any advice
re...when the seeds are ripe, and what to do next (when you live in z
5b? I refuse to admit that I live in z6!)
