How to take care of a canna lilly in the winter?
Cannas make a bulb (lots of them). Dig them up after the first killing frost (one that kills or browns the leaves). Shake off the dirt. Put them in a cardboard box buried in sawdust and put them in a cool, dark, dry place. They'll often last a couple of years. You can plant them early in the spring. This method will give you many more plants. You can also just leave them where they are. They will come back in the spring after dying back. The bulbs get crowded and do better if you dig them up and spread them out every few years. Even if you think you dig up all the bulbs, you probably won't. A little water in the spring and "wallah" more cannas. The only real danger to them is usually grub worms that eat the bulbs. But fortunately there are usually plenty of them down there and I have never had any lost this way.
