34 seconds of tomato plant trying to root itself and the then the video covers how Canna's grow seed and how to harvest the seeds. Canna seeds require scarification before they will sprout from the hard seed covering and I show you how to you can nick the seeds so they will fullfil this requirement. Bird of Paradise seeds also require this procedure before they can be grown from seed. Dahlias blooming at end of video.

I like your voice and the your teaching style. Thanks for helping us with our cannas. I love them.
a much easier way to nick the seed, take a wet paper towel, lay seed on towel and hit with a meat tenderizer. You may loose a few seeds because they will snap in half. But this method is much easier than trying to hold a seed in a tool and nick it while in your hand
Thank you for the information.
Hello. Very informative video! Thank you for taking the time out. I have a question. I'm looking at my Canna Lillies and they have reached that greenish seed pod stage where the flowers are all spent as seen in the video at around 2:00. My question is, what is the right time to dead-head these for constant blooming in the summer? Also, what will happen if I just let those seed pods be and have them fall to the ground naturally?
do I need to take all the black shell off the seed or just a tiny circle I'm using toe nail clipper
What is the name of plant which you point at 6:50?
Thanks for the valuable information! What do you do with all of your extra seeds?
