So I use a 4" battery operated grinder with a sanding disk and pliers to hold the seed. all you have to do is touch the seed against the grinding wheel and voila it breaks the outer hard shell. I just started about 100 seeds and it took me ten minutes to get them ready. Good luck.

I held the pod on a cloth with needle-nosed pliers and then for 1-2 seconds with the grinding stone. I loved your video, and I followed all your other directions last year and I think a 100% germination rate!

Thank you for this video. I had saved about 200 Cana seeds that I grabbed from a plant about 2 years ago. Never planted due to intimidation. I have to tell you…after watching this, I headed to my she-shed, grabbed a piece of 60 grit sandpaper and a pair of pliers with a bolt gripper. Grabbed the seed with the bolt gripper on my pliers and about 6 strokes across the sandpaper is all it took. There’s an easier way my dear! 🙌🏻 Thank you for the fabulous video!!!

Roxanna, this is such a timely video. I've been collecting canna seeds, and I had no idea you had to score, and start them in water. Thank you so much for the great tutorial, I'll be starting them next spring. I do find that once the cannas get established in their pots, the root system grows so fast that they do much better in larger pots. Mine did much better with more room to grow, so I'll be planting them accordingly next summer. They are truly beautiful additions to any garden. Looking forward to your next video😄

Roxanna, Cannas can cross-pollinate if you grow more than one variety in your garden, the only way to keep the color that you want is to dig and store the rhizomes over winter. With that being said, it might be a fun experiment to see how the different varieties look in the second, third, and fourth years of saved seeds! I have 3 different ones this year (all grown from rhizomes), Toucan Coral is a coral flowering one with green leaves, Tropicana Gold has beautiful green & yellow striped leaves with blooms that are orange with yellow splashes, and Wyoming has bronze leaves with gorgeous orange blooms. If they have been cross-pollinated (and I'm pretty sure they were), each seed should produce blooms and/or leaves with different variations of these three different plants! I will save the rhizomes to ensure that I have the original varieties. However, you've convinced me to save and grow the seeds from all three of my varieties of cannas just to see what crosses I get. Have a wonderful week! ~Margie🤗💐🐝🦋

@greenthumbelina7331
@greenthumbelina7331 Год назад
@@Earleyyourmean After the tops freeze and turn brown (but the ground hasn't frozen) I dig the rhizomes and clean the soil off thoroughly (you can also wash the soil off if you have sticky clay soil) then let them air dry completely for a week or so before placing the rhizomes into cardboard boxes. I dry them in my garage on wire racks where there is good airflow, so they air dry completely. I store them in cardboard boxes in my cool (50° F.) dry basement over the winter. I hope this helps. I'm in zone 5a, so there is no way they will survive our bitter-cold winters if left in the ground.

As a kid my dad and I would plant our giant red cannas we stored in the basement every year. I was always intrigued with the seed pods as they were huge. I’m wondering if they would sprout in a moist paper towel in a bag on a heat mat. I used that method for hibiscus seeds as when I was trying to scarify them one popped up and flew over to the drain🙄. They sprouted in a couple days without scarifying. It’s amazing how big the plants got from seed! I thought they would be small.

Canna seed was used in the native's rattles. I can just imagine someone trying to sand a canna seed and have it slip out of their fingers and hit a wooden floor and scuttle everywhere and under furniture (ask me how I know 🙂 ). I just prepared passiflora flower seeds the same way but I use sand paper with those and just catch them under my nail and drag a line down the sand paper for an inch or so. You can get sand paper in more and more aggressive grits so you can find something that works with each seed type. I just finished 16 red canna seeds using my method. It takes me about 4 seconds per seed using 120 grit sandpaper, you will need to cut your nails short so its easy to grip half the seed between thumbnail and a finger nail and hold it in the flesh part of the finger. About 15-20 back and forth one inch long strokes and I had white. Same motion like trying to color in with a piece of chalk. Just move across the sand paper to keep it fresh and on fast cutting new sand areas.

Boil water and pure it in those seed containers. And a week later you can try your method on the seeds that did not germinate.

Just hold them with vice grips. Not too tight or they pop. Put a large file on a table with a towel underneath so you don't ruin your table. File until it feels a little sticky and you start to see a white stripe on the file. Careful when you change the water or the sprout will break off.

do the seeds soften in water? to make scarifying easier.

No, you scarify them first to let water inside the hard seed shell

I wonder if this would work with specific varieties. I know hybrid seeds won’t be true to their parents. I’ll have to let a couple of my Wyoming plants go to seed and give it a try. But I’ll still be saving those tubers 😉 the plants get so big so quick that way.

I just watched this again - a great video. I saved seed and want to tell you about my experience planting them. I found it impossible to scarify them no matter what I did!! My husband used a dremmel and it was much easier. I planted six scarified and six that had been soaked only. 6/6 of the scarified germinated in a few days, 2:6 of the others germinated eventually, slowly. So happy to have learned this method - I will never wrestle with and save those tubers again. I would say the same about dahlias. I saved some seed from a mystic sparkler (eager to see what new hybrids are produced!) and bought seeds for a couple of Figaro. 100% germination. Two questions for you Roxanna. 1. Do cannas grown from seed come back true to the parent? 2. Do you leave those nasty tubers and roots n the soil to rot or do you dig them out? Thanks so much!!
@SoilandMargaritas
@SoilandMargaritas Год назад
Hello! 1- They will have a great chance to be true to the color if you only have one variety of cannas growing around you, I only had yellow cannas so mine were always yellow, but if you start introducing different colors and varieties you will more than likely have a variation. 2- I dig them out, they will get mushy :(

@@SoilandMargaritas plants are fascinating. The tubers I saved have sort of coral/pink blooms and pure green leaves - I don’t have any others and I don’t think my neighbours have any. The seedlings have leaves ranging from the same green to a deep burgundy with some in between. I potted a new tuber this year, the leaves are coming out green with some burgundy and the flowers will be orange. Love this about gardening. I saved some dahlia seeds (mystic sparkler); can hardly wait to see what I get. Of the six seedlings, the foliage is quite variable. Some serrated, some smooth edges ranging in colour from mahogany to mostly green. The mother had serrated, deep mahogany foliage.

Just my 2 cents, you might want to try a high speed finger nail drill. and only issue with your husband way is he should have used a shop belt sander and used the pliers to hold the seeds against it.
