Can you recommend a good canna dealer?

14 years ago

I've been searching online and cannot seem to come up with a good dealer for canna bulbs or seed. Horn seems to have a limited inventory - others' photos don't look right - some want twenty or thirty bucks for a bulb! I'd like to buy "Austalia" and "Black Knight" for a fair price. Anybody??

You might try Horn Canna Farm;
last time I checked, they had mostly the most popular ones, & their prices were good.

Also, check with garden clubs in your area & look for swaps;
people who have cannas are always needing to thin them!

Also, check freecycle online groups in your area.

I once filled the whole back seat of the car with cannas I got by posting a "wanted" on freecycle!

Best luck!

Check the Exchanges page (just above the first message on this page, there're 2 other pages listed, Exchanges & Gallery).

Best luck!

Most recommended windbreaks around here start with an outside row of caragana, then lilacs, poplar and finally Colorado blue spruce all oriented in a relaxed V with the wind hitting the apex of the V.

Hi just wanted to update you NYC dwellers on my experience with Plessers in LI. I ordered an undercounter refridgerator and a DW on 11/29. I cancelled the delivery once because I wasn't ready to receive and rescheduled for Dec 27. On Dec.23 I had to leave the country (2 months)because of a death in the family. When I returned I rescheduled for Mar 1. Plessers delivery called the night before the delivery to tell me a time frame of 6-7am(never had anyone do that before, usually it's "sometime between 8-5")and called that morning to tell me a more exact time 7:15am. They were on time ! I paid for gold delivery since I'm in a walkup(2nd fl)and curbside wouldn't work. I found all of the customer service staff(Patrick, Anthony, Jessica) helpful and pleasant to deal with. Also they provide their own 10year part warranty. I'm not sure how it works with other dealers but I was very happy that I was not penalized for delaying my delivery.

We looked at a few places but ended up getting the best pricing from a local NJ guy, website is www.selectivekitchendesign.com. I plan on reaching out to them soon to do our master bathroom, not sure if Shiloh might be too much $$ compared to stock cabinets for a bathroom. Best of luck with whoever you choose.

Just a heads up for the original poster - Costco has "Black Night" this year in its spring bulbs, at least in WA and OR. Not sure where you're located at, but thought I'd post this.

I am looking for an old-fashioned red leaf canna, flower is red also 6-7' tall. Had them years ago, gave many away and have since lost the bulbs having the red leaves. Now in Fl. and would love to buy them. Never knew their exact name. Tried Black Knight and had poor results compared to the old fashioned canna. Have had good luck in the past with Costco bulbs and bloomingbulbs.com. Good prices and great about satisfying the customer.

Sounds like Red King Humbert. It's an easy to grow canna. I got mine from my parents who came across it near a house being bulldozed.

Some folks in ebay are good. I got a midnight before and it grew tall without any virus/disease. Make sure his score doesn't go below 98%. Good luck!
