Canna lilies

Question

If a canna lily is planted outside in the ground, will it survive the cold winter? Can canna lilies be left in the ground year round in northeast South Dakota?

Answer 1

No, canna needs to be dug up and stored for the winter. They cannot survive the cold where you are, even if mulched. Here is information on that: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/bulbs/canna/storing-canna-bulbs.htm
