Do you wait for Canna lilys to be hit with frost before you dig them out?

Question

Each year I dig out my Canna lilies and save the bulbs for next year. But for some reason this year, I forget if I let the frost hit them first before I dig them out.
Thank you,

Answer 1

That is correct. after the frost hits the tops, then you can dig them out. Here is an article for more information: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/bulbs/canna/storing-canna-bulbs.htm
