Yes all flowering plants produce seed (unless they have genetic disorders)


Bulbous plants can be grown from seed with the right conditions.
Reply:plant of corse produce seed,why not,yes.
Reply:Yes, and they are usually contained in pods of some sort. It is trickier though to grow them from seed than from bulblets and cormlets, etc. Most people propagate from daughter bulbs etc because it is easier and less fussy. Hybridisers use seeds for obvious reasons.
Reply:Yes. Bulbs produce bulblettes around the root, base of the bulb over time. Rhyzomes are a form of roots, as the plant grows, it produces more. If the flower is pollenated and allowed to mature (dry) on the plant seeds will be produced. Whether they are viable is another matter.
Reply:Obviously, if they've got flowers, they'll get seeds.
Reply:The old type of cannas don't produce seeds, but the pods are there. When you break open a pod, it is empty. We grow dozens of these in our yard. The color is orange.





The new cannas that are being bred have seeds. I collected lots this year from our new dwarf cannas.
