Sowing Self-Saved Seed from Cannas

Post by Kristen »

My Canna Mystique has set some seed (and it looks like others varieties that I have may do so too).

Is there any point saving the seed? I presume that Canna Mystique will not come true from seed? (although I do have a few species that most probably will).

Cultivars don't come true, its worth sowing them though as you could have one that is better than the parent icon_thumright

Millionaire-by-Christmas syndrome here I come!

I'll grow them in a nursery bed and see what becomes; thanks.

Of course, you could end up with a load of deformed plants that are just crying out to be composted :wink:
