At last I have found a company from which to order canna rhizomes! I have been planting cannas for many years and I always had problems with the rhizomes I ordered from different places. It is for the second time that I have ordered from Horn Canna Farm, last year it was just a small order to see if these people were worth dealing with. These year I have ordered all my cannas from them and I am very happy with what I have got - all the rhizomes are healthy and big, some of them are just huge, the shipping was fast. Well done! It is always a pleasure to deal with professionals.

I purchased 15 canna tubers from Horn this year, in five varieties. A few arrived blackened and rotted, but the company replaced them. My “negative” rating is because most of my new canna plants came up with deformed, stunted and streaked leaves. That has to be canna virus! I am going to dig up the entire lot and discard them. That is US$102.00 wasted. Fortunately, I don’t have a collection of beloved cannas that these plants may have infected. But really...sending out virus-infected plant stock? Terrible.

I highly recommend this company! The roots I received were HUGE and they are growing vigorously! I had requested that they ship them ahead of schedule because I wanted to get an early start in my basement & they did. If the flowers are anything near the quality of the roots, they will be gorgeous! I can't wait until they bloom and would highly recommend this company! Everything was well labeled, too. I'm so glad I found this website which enabled me to find this wonderful company!

I have continued to order from this company since my original post, and continued to be thrilled with each order. The plants grow well and bloom beautifully. I have just received this year's order and am looking forward to growing these beautiful flowers in new areas in my yard.

I ordered 21 roots of several different varieties from Horn Canna Farm. When I received them some appeared partially rotted, but I planted all of them anyway. Only 12 sprouted, 9 did not. Of those that grew, the leaves were mottled and did not look right. I was afraid of virus infection, and did not want to risk spreading it to my other cannas, so I dug them up and discarded them. Very disappointing experience.

Their cannas are very nice. I am happy with how they arrived and grew this year. Just got to make sure I dig them and store them in time and not let them get frozen. Would be a shame to forget to dig them.

I ordered 33 bulbs last spring. Horn was generous and sent 1-3 extras of each of the 9 varieties I ordered. Unfortunately, every single one of them is infected with the virus. At least 1/3 of them didn't come up at all. Of the ones that did a lot are stunted. Every one of them has discolored leaves. I would never buy from Horn again. I'm just glad I didn't have any healthy cannas already or they would have been infected by the disease Horn sent me.

My mom has been ordering from here for years and last year I talked to her and how I wanted more "wow" in my garden, (I already had some cannas, but wanted more colors) she told me about Horn Canna farm. I was sooo excited to order from here, I spent nearly $40.00!! I planted them and waited....they started coming up and no blooms, nothing, notta...finally the tall ones started to bloom...they looked AWFUL!!! They were definetly deformed, I understand the virus is out there, but I have had to tear all my cannas out, even the ones I have had it myself for a year already, they were really fragile like, the small cannas didn't even bloom once, the tall ones....Oh my, they looked horrible, I wanted to cry, So needless to say I need to start all over again, but I am afraid b/c what if that virus is still in my soil even though I have tore everything out....I am just sick to my stomach....just becareful of being too much, maybe start off small and see what you get....

I have received three orders from Horn Canna Farm and their merchandise is better than any cannas I have purchased over the years. Their tubers are large and all have at least three eyes as advertised. If you are going to buy cannas this is the best place I know of so far. Their prices are fantastic and they ship very quickly.


On November 20th, 2009, riosamba changed the rating from positive to neutral and added the following:

Many of the cannas that I purchased from Horn also did not grow. I know it wasn't where the rhizomes were planted as other cannas from another company did grow in the same part of my garden.

I totally agree with all the good things and great reviews that I read about Horn's Canna BUT only 10 of my 18 Miss Oklahoma Cannas came up and the ones that did are sickly and stunted. (Yeah, I know they say they can't be responsible because of growing conditions, etc).
Of the 18 City of Portlands that I planted it is very obvious that are probably infected with "some" virus, they are definitely sick. I love my cannas. I am in a dilemma now. Do I destroy the other 180 - 200 plants of 14 different varieties?
I attempted to contact Horn's thru their web site but there was somekind of connection problem with their web site.

Almost all the tubers have grown about 2-3 feet but none of them have started blooming yet and we are almost in the end of July. Just wanted to make sure if they bloom during their first year.?
I live in Jersey and I'll have to dig up the tubers in fall and start over again next year.

This is exactly what a good mail order transaction looks like: communication was accurate and timely. I was sent an email receipt for my order, and emailed when the order was shipped. The rhizomes are large, heavy and healthy. Prices were absurdly low: I ordered several additional rhizomes as a surprise gift for a gardener down the street.

Awesome - in ever respect!
The tubers are huge and packed nicely - shipped fast and I cannot tell you how gorgeous my flowers were this year... not to mention that they all multiplied so much I was laughing as I attempted to lift them from the ground this fall - they were too heavy!!! :)
Customer service is WONDERFUL as well and the nicest people I have dealt with - and affordable products as well.
I sent them a note but thought it would be appropriate to publish for others to see and to know this is one company you cannot go wrong with.
Thanks again to Horn's for a great season of growing and many more to come!

If I could give this company more than a positive I would. When I opened my box just a minute ago the first thing that I said was "you've got to be kidding me!" I have NEVER seen such HUGE cannas! HUGE is an understatement. These guys all have eyes already and I am sure that they are going to be amazing in bloom. All I can say is THANK YOU and I will NEVER order cannas from anyone else!

Pleased as peaches! Huge LIVE rhizomes & well packaged. Didn't take no time at all for them to put up new shoots. They were ready to sprout up new shoots because Horn's sent live, not dormant cannas! Almost feel guilty paying so little per rhizome too. The folks there Horn's Canna Farm wrote the book on customer care as well.

FIVE STAR QUALITY AND SERVICE

I cannot say enough about this company. Their customer service is outstanding. The quality of the their Canna Tubers is beyond anything I have ever ever seen, and I have purchased from many sources. The prices they have are absolutely the best prices of any Canna growers anywhere.

I ran a co-op with the Horn Canna Farm here on DG. Nikki and family were incredible to work with for all of us! We ordered more that 900 Tubers from their company, and every customer in our Co-op was extremely pleased with the tubers they received.

They sent out the fattest and largest tubers I have ever gotten from any company. Before you pay (even five dollars) for a tuber from another company, you should place an order with this one, I promise, you will NEVER buy canna anywhere else!

Thank you Horn Canna Farm and Nikki and family for a wonderful experience! Everything went just as smoothly as possible. Thank you for shipping for shipping to us, and making this a dream of a co-op!

I ordered from these folks 2 years ago; I was vary because their prices were so much lower than anyplace else I had looked. The bulbs arrived, looking really good, and I planted them in pots for a while so I could monitor. Some of them were too large to fit in gallon-size containers! I transplanted, and they've been either in the ground or in larger containers for the past year and a half. I have been extremely pleased with how they've done, and just placed another order with them. Although they don't have a huge selection, they have a nice variety of heights and colors. One of my favorites is a dwarf that bloomed for the first time this year called Journey's End. It's lovely. The Praetoria I ordered from them have grown so much I've had to divide them. I think you can't go wrong with these folks. No frills, but you get good quality stock at a great price.

An absolutely wonderful company to deal with.

I've placed many Canna order from various sources
this spring, and I must say, if you are looking for
quality Canna, this is THE place to shop.

Their prices are very low, which
I assumed meant smaller tubers. Oh, so wrong.

The tubers are large, obviously healthy and shipped
properly, a big plus when mail ordering. No half-baked
sale with these people. Needed or not, instructions,
details, tips and more are included with your order.

Very friendly emails, prompt attention to questions
posted on the site.

As soon as I opened the box I knew I would not only
be back to order more, but would do so as soon as
I could plant the first order.

Top choice quality company with a product they
know and can stand behind. After all, the family
has grown Canna for generations, it's obvious
they truly know what they are doing.

A+ quality all the way.

Horn Canna Farm has the best prices I've ever seen for cannas. They also have a wide selection of pink cannas that are hard to find elsewhere. I placed my order and they arrived in less than a week! All of the corms were huge and freshly dug up. I can't believe I ever paid more for shriveled corms at my local nurseries! I will definately order from them again.

If you are shopping for Cannas, you have to go here first!! I bought over 200 this year and several hundred the previous 2 years!! All are vigorously growing!! They have unbelievably reasonable prices too!! I always get more than I order.

All Cannas are in wonderful shape upon receipt, not the dried up pieces that nurseries have... These are straight from their fields to you... No middle man, no drying out. I absolutely would not buy Cannas anywhere else if they have the variety you are looking for at HORN!!!
