WANTED: Canna Seeds

9 years ago

I would love to trade canna seeds. I have dwarf seeds, with green leaves and yellow/peach flowers that I got last fall. I received a lot of these and had good germination last winter.

I would really like some from a canna with red leaves or fancy striped leaves. I know seedlings will not be true to the parent from a cross but they will all be different and some might have the colouring of the parent.

I don't collect the seeds from my cannas but would be happy to share some tubers with you in the spring.
Here in extreme southwestern Ontario we have cannas sometimes self sowing from seed.
I have 2 different red leafed cannas. One with broad leaves and narrow red flowers and one with narrow leaves and orange/red flowers. They are put away for winter now so I'd have to send in the early spring. I will be potting them up in the greenhouse in April.
