Sorry If I am repeating myself but a posting earlier has not appeared,
(may be finger trouble?)

I have a Canna that I bought in a pot that has flowered wonderfully but
I may have missed a dead head as now there is a large seed pod on the
plant.
1) Will the seed be viable?
2) How long do I leave it on the plant to ripen?
3) When do I sow it and in what medium & conditions?
Thanks

Wait until teh seed pod is ripe and the seeds are brown/black
Save them till spring and then see:

I've never bothered with the filing/chipping and usually get a really good
germination rate anyway.
