Hello.
I have many Cannas in my garden and they are now blooming up a storm. Attached is a pic of Canna 'Wyoming', a new one for me this year.
Should I be cutting off the spent bloom spikes to force the plant's energy towards new flowers, or does it not matter? I am not interested in producing seeds, just as many flowers as possible during our short season.
Thank you.
Erick
I always cut the spikes off even if I want seeds. I start leaving pods around October but cut all the other ones off until then. They will send up more bloom spikes.
Thank you very much Badseed!

Canna 'Wyoming' Does not Make seeds
phicks, I initially doubted you, as I had just cut off several bloom spikes with large seed pods. But upon closer inspection (i.e. tearing them apart), I discovered they contained tiny, vestigal seeds. You were right on!
