July 6, 2017A.There are a few pests that can attack Canna Lily, including, Aphids, Japanese Beetle, Canna Leafroller, and numerous caterpillars.
Pick off any caterpillars or Japanese Beetles that are visible.
If you can't see a pest, it could be Aphids or slugs.
Here are some links that will help you.

78613Q.Regarding the web artical “Canna Lily Care: How To Grow Canna Lilies”
This article states Canna lilies are low maintenance and easy to grow, and both their flowers and foliage offer long-lasting color in the garden. Yet it also states "Once established, cannas need to be kept moist. They also require monthly fertilizer". And "It’s usually necessary to dig up and store canna rhizomes in the fall." Further it mentions "You can also divide the plant during this time if necessary." Please help your readers to better understand what exactly is considered as "low maintenance" about this plant from the article?

Certified ExpertA.These are the seed pods. You can remove them from the plant or, if you're interested in trying your hand at seed propagating them, you can leave them to dry and turn brown prior to removing.
