    Canna australis
    [​IMG]

    last year I`ve bought 2 australis in my local market , I felt in love with the color of the leaves , but because of the virus in my garden they end up in the rubbish bin.

    I`m looking for seeds , has anyone seen them on sale? everywhere i try they are sold out.

      Send an email to Karchesky to ask if they have any? Communicating via their website seems hit & miss, but I hear they are responsive to emails.

      They are very reliable in their responses via Facebook, I've sent several messages to Alice via FB and had replies within 24hrs, often much less :dbgrtmb:

        Hi Joolz , just referred to my planting Excel sheet....
        I potted on to 4" or 5" pots after 4 or 5 weeks
        Had to Pot on to 7" pots the end of April 12 to 13 weeks ( they don't half grow fast ! )
        Planted out last week end in May
        Then sit back and enjoy until November ! :dbgrtmb:
        I am just growing from saved and bought Rhizomes this year . They will be potted up in 2 weeks into 99p buckets ! And sneaked into the house one at a time while Mrs H is not watching :biggrin:

              That's the one ... the one with Dyslexia tolerance too!

              All seeds sown in the kitchen (warmer in there than my potting shed this time of year ...). Nearer to the kettle for a cuppa too ...
