All the bulbs except one sent out shoots. 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.

Whoohoo !! Most of the 20 Black knight bulbs have sent out shoots.

The tubers are huge and packed nicely - shipped fast and I cannot tell you how gorgeous my flowers were this year... not to mention that they all multiplied so much I was laughing as I attempted to lift them from the ground this fall - they were too heavy!!! :)
Customer service is WONDERFUL as well and the nicest people I have dealt with - and affordable products as well.
I sent them a note but thought it would be appropriate to publish for others to see and to know this is one company you cannot go wrong with.
Thanks again to Horn's for a great season of growing and many more to come!

Another wonderful shipment from Horn\'s! AND all my harvest from last year survived in my storage area and is sprouting in my garden as I write. I love doing business with Nicki and her team and highly recommend them to everyone - they make growing these so easy and fun! | | Positive | Plantmania_216 (2 reviews) | On May 5, 2007, Plantmania_216 Marietta, OH wrote: I highly recommend this company! The roots I received were HUGE and they are growing vigorously! I had requested that they ship them ahead of schedule because I wanted to get an early start in my basement & they did. If the flowers are anything near the quality of the roots, they will be gorgeous! I can't wait until they bloom and would highly recommend this company! Everything was well labeled, too.

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.

I cannot say enough about this company. Their customer service is outstanding. The quality of the their Canna Tubers is beyond anything I have ever ever seen, and I have purchased from many sources. The prices they have are absolutely the best prices of any Canna growers anywhere.
I ran a co-op with the Horn Canna Farm here on DG. Nikki and family were incredible to work with for all of us! We ordered more that 900 Tubers from their company, and every customer in our Co-op was extremely pleased with the tubers they received.
They sent out the fattest and largest tubers I have ever gotten from any company. Before you pay (even five dollars) for a tuber from another company, you should place an order with this one, I promise, you will NEVER buy canna anywhere else!
Thank you Horn Canna Farm and Nikki and family for a wonderful experience! Everything went just as smoothly as possible. Thank you for shipping for shipping to us, and making this a dream of a co-op!

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. | | Positive | mpabbott1 (4 reviews) | On August 20, 2006, mpabbott1 Poway, CA (Zone 10a) wrote:Great service and very healthy!

I've placed many Canna order from various sources
this spring, and I must say, if you are looking for
quality Canna, this is THE place to shop.
Their prices are very low, which
I assumed meant smaller tubers. Oh, so wrong.
The tubers are large, obviously healthy and shipped
properly, a big plus when mail ordering. No half-baked
sale with these people. Needed or not, instructions,
details, tips and more are included with your order.
Very friendly emails, prompt attention to questions
posted on the site.
As soon as I opened the box I knew I would not only
be back to order more, but would do so as soon as
I could plant the first order.
Top choice quality company with a product they
know and can stand behind. After all, the family
has grown Canna for generations, it's obvious
they truly know what they are doing.
A+ quality all the way. | | Positive | sweet_whitney (12 reviews) | On March 19, 2006, sweet_whitney Tucson, AZ (Zone 8b) wrote:Horn Canna Farm has the best prices I've ever seen for cannas.

All Cannas are in wonderful shape upon receipt, not the dried up pieces that nurseries have... These are straight from their fields to you... No middle man, no drying out. I absolutely would not buy Cannas anywhere else if they have the variety you are looking for at HORN!!! | | Positive | berrygirl (15 reviews) | On October 31, 2005, berrygirl Braselton, GA (Zone 7b) wrote:I participated in a canna co-op at DG and rec'd some unsatisfactory [rotten] cannas that didn't grow.

I have consistently received excellent quality rhizomes and my order is always filled correctly.

They haven't been planted here yet, I just wanted to comment on how my order looked when delivered. I was scared when FedEx dropped off the box as it had a large hole poked right in the side of the box and was plenty big enough for product to fall out. Luckily everything was still inside and intact. FedEx said the hole in the box was due to handling and not something Horn did wrong.
I can't wait to get them in the ground and see how they do when flowering. We can't wait.

They arrived just at the right time to plant this year. They are probably 3-5 times larger than the ones available locally and they are in great shape. There are also way way cheaper than available locally. They were packaged with clear labels telling me which variety each set is, which is great considering how cheap they are.

I purchased a few other cannas from another vendor and was thrilled with those but Horn Canna Farm gets my business from now on because they have a better selection and great prices! You just can't beat $1.00-$1.50 per rhizomes. As soon as my Father is ready for me to landscape his yard I will be ordering more cannas from Horn Canna Farm.

As most of you have said, they ship when the say the will, bill at shipping, and the canna's arrived in great condition. They were very health (because I am sure I planted a couple upside down)They came up anyway. Very good company and easy to deal with. Highly recomend this company. | | Positive | SBrisco (1 review) | On June 5, 2003, SBrisco wrote: I first found Horn's Cannas at the Tulsa Home and Garden show in 2000. I bought only four or five and then after I planted them (in the Spring), we moved in July 2001.
Now that I was in Texas, I discovered very few cannas growing in my area. I went to Horn's Canna farm online and located four different varieties. I was told that they would be shipped in March (2001) and they were. My credit card was not charged until after the cannas were shipped. I planted them immediately after their arrival and they were beautiful last year.
This year, my cannas have divided tremendously and are the talk of the neighborhood. I have "Sooner" reds and "Cowboy" oranges-- a house divided, of course (OU-OSU) with a few pinks in other areas.
I plan to purchase additional ones for next year this fall! I recommend Horn's to everyone here in Texas...because I'm not sharing these beauties!

Weatherford, TX | | Positive | Barbarae (7 reviews) | On April 21, 2003, Barbarae wrote: I compiled an order last year, but was put off by their restrictions on the number of types that could be ordered for a specific price level. I wound up not placing the order.
When I looked at their website this spring, I was pleasantly surprised by the change in their order policy. My problem then was deciding how to 'keep it reasonable'.
I ordered late this planting season and they still had most of what I needed. Shipping was very prompt and in the timeframe indicated by the person who took the order. The quality was quite superb, with nice fat healthy roots ready for planting.
If anyone is hunting for cannas, I'll send them to Horn Canna Farm FIRST. |
