I am growing Galtonia and species Canna from seed and they both bloom within two years from seed. Very easy straight forward seed starting. Clivia are also easy to grow from seed but will take 5 years to bloom. Al

Thanks Calistoga,

I ve checked some see catalogues and I see a particular canna called "tropical series" that s supposed to bloom in 3 months from seed!

Seems a bit unbeleivable no?

It is possible. My species Canna bloom the same year when planted from seed, not sure if within 90 days. I am collecting seed from them now. The flower in the Parks picture is not the same as the species. My recommendation is to give them a try. Canna seed keeps well and should be good for three or four years. Al
