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. |
| Negative | Frances60 (4 reviews) | On Sep 25, 2020, Frances60 Santa Cruz, CA wrote: 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. |

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. |
| Negative | karenmuse (13 reviews) | On Jun 19, 2015, karenmuse Jackson, MI wrote: 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. |

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. |
| Negative | khaywood (1 review) | On Sep 4, 2011, khaywood Aloha, OR wrote: 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. |

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.... |

We contacted Horn Canna Farm, for the one which did not survive. They replaced the one we lost. We highly recommend this company for huge canna bulbs for a very reasonable price. |

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. |

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! |

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. |

| Positive | imapigeon (6 reviews) | On Sep 3, 2006, imapigeon Gilroy (Sunset Z14), CA (Zone 9a) wrote: 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. |

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. |

I contacted the company and they have GRACIOUSLY offered to replace those cannas. I now believe that the rotten cannas I rec'd were not their fault at all. I am so impressed by their help to me that I am placing a "regular" order with them in the near future. They have a new and happy customer!! On April 6th, 2006, berrygirl added the following: Today I rec'd the replacement cannas and I am amazed at how huge and fresh they are!! These folks went way beyond their duty to help me out and I am so pleased with their kindness. I cannot wait to grow these cannas and show pix to everyone. The Horn family have got my canna business! |
