    Even in warm zones your Canna's will need some winter care.
    Trim the foliage back on the Canna's even if your not going to lift them and divide them.
    Add some hardwood mulch to help with temperature fluctuations and keep them from drying out. Only water if the ground becomes to dry.
    Do not fertilize in the winter.

    I would cut the spent Canna canes down to the ground. Then allow the other canes to flower.
    Cannas do need to be lifted and divided once a year and spring is the best time to do this.
    Before lifting the plants, cut them down to about 5 to 6 inches high.

    Yes, Canna Lily can make color mutations, this is often how some colors are 'born'.
    Not every plant will do so, but if you grow Canna long enough you will see this in your garden.

    Canna Lily can do well in clay soil. One of the keys is to not plant to deeply, you can plant them about 2" deep.

    No, the bulbs should be kept dry throughout the winter to prevent rot or disease from affecting them.
