    Im just wondering Why did you have the jar on the floor and not on the counter or stove?



  2. Patrick Griffin on June 27, 2023 at 8:17 pm

    I was told cannas do not bloom the same year when grown from seed. Is this true?



  5. Iris Moles on June 27, 2023 at 8:25 pm

    From seeds in boiling water to plants. In between??



  10. alistair young on June 27, 2023 at 8:31 pm

    Hi good idea! Why do you have to keep changing the water 3 times a day?



  11. Lhynn de G. on June 27, 2023 at 8:37 pm

    I tried this method and it works, thank you 😊

    Kris, Thanks for the tip it took be ages to file the shells. when would you sow your seed.



  15. obez on June 27, 2023 at 8:56 pm

    Once germinated, do cannas need to be on a heat mat or will they grow fine in a sunny conservatory in spring?



  16. mark ray on June 27, 2023 at 8:57 pm

  19. Lelo on June 27, 2023 at 9:00 pm

    How old are the seeds? Can you use new seeds which are soft?



  20. Milsy videos on June 27, 2023 at 9:02 pm

    Thanks mate I’ve done the boiling water method and placed the warm water in the propagator and during the day take the lid of hopefully it will work just harvested my canna seeds



  21. M Ben on June 27, 2023 at 9:04 pm

    In zone 7 Arkansas, Can I start seeds using this method in fall right after harvest in a green house or should I wait till spring? Growing Musifolia.



  22. tulip GB on June 27, 2023 at 9:06 pm

    Hi Kris would have like u to have shown how the seeds were after u had covered them in the warm water.
    Cannes are my favourite plant. I grow them in tubs & overwinter them just with wood mulch on the top. I do the same with my ginger lillies but these are now planted in the garden. They have really taken off & doing so we. Thanks for the videos watching them closely



  23. Kev, UK. on June 27, 2023 at 9:08 pm

    Another interesting video, thanks! Towards the end you say “with the right species”, please could you recommend which? Cheers!



  24. o000omusico000o on June 27, 2023 at 9:08 pm

    hi kris i have done all you showed in video how deep do i bury the seeds and i will have them in heated propagator thank kay



  25. J H on June 27, 2023 at 9:08 pm

    Can you recommend a place where i could buy some guaranteed virus free seed, cheers.



  26. carl wybrow on June 27, 2023 at 9:09 pm

    very helpfull



  27. 3IlGrillo!☆ on June 27, 2023 at 9:09 pm

    Hi Kris, this worked treat for me. 75% rate so far. Planting..dies the sprout go straight down or to the side? Thks. I’m going to use a regular potting soil with some perlite, on a heat mat. Should be ok? Thks



  28. anne villeneuve on June 27, 2023 at 9:11 pm

    brilliant! I did this last year and it worked like a charm! Trying to nick or sand the seed is very difficult and time consuming…Thanks for the tip!



  29. Ryan O'Hanlon on June 27, 2023 at 9:13 pm

    I’ve a set of seeds sitting on a window sill in the house and a second set in the garage under light (it’s warmer in garage). It’s been a week and there’s no sign of germination. The outermost layer of the seed is starting to fall apart but that’s it. Any suggestions what’s going wrong? Am I just impatient? All were scarified and it’s July in TX.



  30. Chad Vollrath on June 27, 2023 at 9:15 pm

    When they begin to root what end gets pointed up or how do you out them in soil. You never covered that.



  31. Smiley Gopher on June 27, 2023 at 9:16 pm

    Tried your method and it works wonderfully. I reviewed others where they talk about filing the seeds and knew I wouldn’t do it. I searched for other methods and found yours and thought “ that I can do”. I have 30 seeds coming up in plastic cups. Hoping to gifts friends with some as I payed $8 USD a piece for mine.
