:woohoonaner:

Re: Canna Lovers Unite!
 

If they are given lots of sun, warmth, and water, they should be in flower sometime in july at that height.

Good luck!

Re: Canna Lovers Unite!

Re: Canna Lovers Unite!
 

This is a first bloom on my Journey's End Canna. This was a rhizome I got last fall in a trade.



~JaNan

Re: Canna Lovers Unite!
 

Any idea which Canna this might be?

Re: Canna Lovers Unite!
 

Hi i have a canna that is just about to flower my first one out of 8 plants i have grown this year and two different variaties. once the rain stops i will take a picture and post in on here. The canna that is about to flower is named canna indica here in the uk. I have seen one that looks identical on this topic that goes by the name of canna robert kemp? May be its the same one.

Re: Canna Lovers Unite!
 

Can you get a close up of the flowers? Are they solid red? How tall are they? From a distance they look a lot like Palmtree's Robert Kemp, but am guessing since you are asking that they don't look like that up close.

~JaNan

Re: Canna Lovers Unite!
 

Hi. I have just uploaded the images of my canna indica. if anyone would like to take a look it looks so much like the robert kemp. I had to load it into the members gallery as i didn't know how to actually post it on the topic.

Ante, I just love the Cleopatra! Mine was killed when I thoughtlessly forgot to dig it up and it failed to survive the winter. What a beauty of flower and foliage.

Re: Canna Lovers Unite!

Re: Canna Lovers Unite!
 

This is my first year growing Cannas. I'm hooked! I plan to do a whole bed of Cannas next spring.

Re: Canna Lovers Unite!
 

Where can I get any info about collecting Canna seeds?
:nanadrink:

Re: Canna Lovers Unite!
 

Many Cannas don't make seed, they are sterile. I don't have a list wich are but you wil see that from many varieties there is no seed for sale.

Re: Canna Lovers Unite!
 

Canna Land : Seed Pods

You have to wait until the seed pod turns brown. The seed is hard, round and black and looks like a large BB. Most of the fancy hybrids are sterile and do not make seed as Ron mentioned. You will have to divide the rhizomes for those. But they will double or triple every year so that is easy to do! :)

Here's a pic of my latest bloom-


It seems to be Canna indica, maybe Yellow Indian Shot. It was a mislabeled plant, and when it first came up I thought it was heliconia. Now the expert consensus is canna.

Re: Canna Lovers Unite!
 

I love this canna and the hummingbirds do too!! Ive never seen hummingbirds in my yard until I planted these. It only took a season for the cannas to establish enough to reach over 10 feet tall.

Re: Canna Lovers Unite!
 

Hi jananas Bananas. I am really sorry but i have to say this, your canna is virused. The cells on the foilage are broken and so are the lines, and the leaf growth is distorted. If it is grown near your other canna's it can totally wipe out your whole stock as the virus is passed on very easily. I sadly had to destroy a tropicanna this year as this too had broken lines and cells. Sadly there is such a big spread of this virus it is hard to control now it is global. A lot of gardners don't even know they have got a canna with a virus.

Re: Canna Lovers Unite!
 

This has been addressed in a prior post. Weather conditions can affect the leaf growth and appearance and yes the cells can and will appear broken from this at times. The picture you have shown was from early growth after 80 plus degree days in February followed by a very cold snap for equally as long. They are not virused, Grasshoppers yes, Caterpillars yes, Sunburned yes, virused no. How do I know? The Texas Department of Agriculture tests for this. I have random soil and tissue tests done on my plants at any time. The Agriculture Commissioner for the state is my family member. Please be careful posting to a public forum making statements such as this. I have had several members of this forum as well as other forums come by my home and compliment my cannas (and other plants) for looking so strong and healthy. ????????
