Hello, I would be interested in a trade for some of your President canna seeds. Would you check my trade list to see if I have anything of interest to trade for? Thanks

My Red Canna seeds are just about ready for harvest and they are so beautiful this year. They attract humming birds and butterflys. I would love to trade for different colored canna's, leaf varietys. I have been bitten by the Canna Bug! This is what it looks like below -

Hi I have some very hardy canna seeds. They get tall like 10 feet if given enough room and the bulbs survive with no problem our zone 7 winter. They are tall spiky orange variety. Very tropical looking. Open to any banana seeds I don't have. Thanks Patrick

The plant has to expend energy to form seeds, so in theory at least, removing the pods as soon as they begin to develop would prompt the plant to put the energy no longer needed for making seeds into making more flowers. Once the pods are mature, it would make no difference at all whether they are removed or not because the plant is no longer providing any nourishment to them at that time. That's why the capsules turn brown. In either case, the rhizome keeps developing continuously as long as its environmental needs are met.
