It is still early in the year, and you can't hardly kill a canna. Yes they will come back and probably still produce blooms this year, they are a summer flowering not spring flowering and even with it warming up early this year, they have not bloomed yet, so unless you are in Hawaii or someplace tropical that I would have no clue about, what your hubby did will probably only make them grow back thicker than before! Cannas are really tough
Reply:Cannas grow 1½ to 5 feet or more, depending on variety. Their large, glossy green leaves are 6 to 12 inches wide. Their blossoms are clustered at the top of flower spikes which can be up to one foot long. Blossom size varies with the species planted. Cannas are available in red, rose/pink, yellow, red with yellow, and dark red with bronze foliage





Cannas may be started indoors by planting them three to four inches deep in pots, then transplanting them outside. They will also bloom well if planted directly into the garden as soon as the soil has warmed and danger of frost has passed. Plant the rhizomes 3-4 inches deep and 1½ to 3 feet apart. Cannas grow best in full sun and hot weather, providing they have adequate moisture and a soil high in organic matter. They will bloom in a warm site that gets part day sun, such as along a house wall. They bloom mid-summer to frost.





In the fall, dig up the rhizomes, cut the stems back to 2-3 inches, and let them dry. Leave them in a box in a cool part of the house where they will not freeze, such as a basement where the temperatures range between 40-50 degrees. Every few years, the rhizomes may be divided. When dividing, each piece must have an eye or growing point on it. Let the cut-up rhizomes dry for a few days before planting them.





I am giving you information for a location that experiences freezing temperatures since I don't know where you are located.
Reply:It depends on what zone you are in. IN the north they need to be dug up and stored in a cool dry place and then re-planted in the spring.
Reply:THESE PLANTS PRODUCE IN EARLY SPRING OR EARLIER FALL THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL FLOWER TRY NOT TO CUT THEM DONE BEFORE THEY'VE HAD A CHANCE TO BLOSSOM IF YOU WANT GIVE THEM WATER MIXED WITH MIRACLE WILL BOOST THEM TO GROW AND BLOOM GOOD LUCK. THEY BLOOM ONCE A YEAR
Reply:Cannas are bulb plants, so if the bulbs are not ALL dug up, they will return and will also multiply.
