| I would love to trade for some fancy canna seed, if anyone has some to spare. Any canna with fancy striped or red leaves, or Tropicanna, etc. is fine. Doesn't need to be named variety either. I grew a few from seed this past winter and some are even blooming now. Seeding is addictive. Pls see my trade list if you are interested in trading and send me an email. |

| Fancy canna usually do not have fancy progeny. Tropicanna very rarely produces seed. Another striped leaved canna, Pink Sunburst, often produces viable seed but the progeny are not striped because Pink Sunburst is a chimera. In my experience, about half the progeny have solid green and half have solid red leaves, with flowers identical to that of the parent. I have some Pink Sunburst seeds, naturally dropped several years ago, germinating in the ground right now. |
