Canna indica is one of the classic summer flowers with a tropical appearance that can enliven even the most modest corners of the garden. This package contains 10 seeds, allowing you to grow your own young seedlings of this popular ornamental plant. The species originates from the Caribbean region and tropical parts of Central and South America, where it is commonly found along paths, in clearings, and by watercourses. The main decorative features of the plant are the erect flower stems bearing striking red-orange flowers with elongated pointed petals and a characteristically curled pistil. Complementing these are the large lanceolate green leaves with visible venation, giving the plant a lush tropical appearance. In European horticulture, the canna is cultivated as a popular container plant or summer border flower, which is moved to a protected area for overwintering in autumn.

Contents of the package:

  • 10 seeds of Canna indica

Canna seeds have a hard black shell resembling small pellets, so pre-sowing treatment is necessary – the seeds are either filed with a fine file or cut, or soaked in lukewarm water for 24 hours. After this treatment, germination occurs more quickly and evenly. Sow in well-draining substrate in a tray with a cover or in a mini-greenhouse at a temperature around 25 °C. Young seedlings grow quickly and after a few months are ready to be transplanted to a permanent outdoor location after the last spring frosts. In winter, dig up the rhizomes and store them in a cooler dry place with a temperature around 5–10 °C, where they will safely survive until the next spring. This package of 10 Canna indica seeds is a great choice for anyone looking to create an unmistakable tropical atmosphere in their garden or on their terrace.
