Default Cannas from seed

In article ,
says...
My canna plants have developed some nice fat seed pods.

Do cannas grow well from seed or does it take years for them to get going as
with say daffodil seeds etc. I appreciate the normal way is by splitting up
a clump.

They are very easy, just wait till next spring early, the light levels
will be improving.
Put the seed in a glass and pour boiling water over them and leave to
stand for 24 hours then sow in a warm place
