Can i mix wildflowers in with a tropical salmon canna in a large planter?

I potted a tropical canna in the middle of a large planter. Could I plant my wildflower butterfly garden seeds in the same pot around the canna or will it prevent the canna from growing or flowering a lot? Thanks!!
@Tashi Delek... thanks for the great idea!! You are right, they would look like weeds. Lol.

Cannas do not mind company.
I will say, however, that Cannas present a formal, architectural, and aggressive appearance wherever they are used. Most wildflowers would be overwhelmed and even look weedy in company with Canna. My suggestion would be to use bold foliage and colors with bold foliage and colors, especially things that would provide striking contrast. Things to consider: black or chartreuse potato-vine (Solanum); wildly ruffled and variegated Coleus hybrids; brilliant tangerine New Guinea Impatiens; chartreuse licorice plant (Helichrysum Petiolare)....check out books on container gardening at your public library.

Features

  • Shipped potted in soil to ensure a healthier start when planted in yard or garden.
  • Use this red canna lily to create an undeniably tropical look, even where theres frost, as this canna is hardy to USDA zone 7 and all higher zones.
  • Enjoy the beautiful red blossoms and dramatic foliage all season, and then cut back to the ground for the winter, setting yourself up for fresh new leaves and blooms the following season.
  • Use the red canna in narrow beds against fences or buildings where some height is needed. The canna mixes well with other tropicals like bamboo or hibiscus, yet can stand alone for a great effect in pots or containers on a porch, patios, terrace or balcony.
  • Canna lilies are one of those special plants that thrive equally well in the shade or in the full sun. Our five gallon cannas are very full.

Seed Germination

If you wish to grow any flowers, herbs or vegetables from seeds, you must understand that every seed has its own germination rate. Which means, they have different period to change to seedling.

In fact germination process will also vary according to whether it grows in the cold of mountains or the humid tropical climate. Does this mean that if I live in tropical climate country, I do not have the chance to grow lovely Lavender which needs cold temperature? Every seed has its own possible way to germinate no matter where you wish to grow them.

The best way to obtain success in germinating seed is to try to mimick the natural conditions of the seed will experience in the wild. Copying method will improve the chance, especially with seeds that are difficult or are erratic germniators.

For example, some seeds have hard cover coats that are resistant to water. Germination rate will take a longer time if you plant this seed direct to your pot or garden. One of the example is Canna seeds. Naturally in the wild, the seed coating can be broken by a sudden change in temperature or seed falling from its plat and being step by humans or animals.

To expose this seed, what you can do is to file the seed coating by rubbing rough ground or using sand-paper. This method is called Scarification.

Another way is to soak seed in the water about a week till you noticed the inner skin expose. Once the seed exposed, gently press the seed into the surface of the substrate. Either in pot or tray, let it under the white light for at least 6 -8 hours straight. Seeds need water to penetrate the outer seed coat to begin germinating process. But make sure not to overwater and keep well drain.
