| Can start inside now or wate till after danger of frost has passed. Nick seed & soak in water for 24 hours then lightly cover soil temp 70-75F & takes 8-60 days to germinate. sow to flower 13-19 weeks |
|
| I would not start now. Start in January or February. Nick or file through the hard black surface. When you see white thats far enough. Put seeds in a bottle or jar of water until you see a white shoot coming out. Plant in a pot, put in window or under lights until last frost date. |

| I did some canna seeds using the winter sowning method. they did great. You might want to look in that method. there's a whole thread on it here on Gardenweb. Gemfire |
