What am I doing wrong with the Canna seeds?

I have a Canna Picasso and it has so many seeds. I have tried planting some of them (after making a small cut in the seed and soaking them for a few days), and I quickly got about a one inch plant. But then they just turned yellow and died. I've been keeping the soil moist, but not at all soaked. Am I doing something wrong or am I just having some bad luck?

Well, I am very sorry to hear this because I'm going to try for the first time myself. I have a couple of friends that I am going to share a few seeds with and I was hoping it would not be hard to do.





From what I have read, you are doing all the right things. Maybe we should let them dry out once we see the plants emerge.





Thank you for asking this important question.
Reply:If they are Canna lillies then they are grown from a bulb or rhizome not the seeds. When the plant dies back you have to dig up the big bulbous root and separate or pot them.
Reply:Don't dispire.!!! just put the seeds in the dirt...no need to cut or soak them/ when the seed sprout it will take them like a year to make the actual root........
