November 27, 2018Q.canna lilies, dwarf
I brought my Canna inside in September (first sign of frost) and have it in a south facing window. It keeps sending up shoots and flower stalks and blooms. Will it ever spontaneously stop so I can let it hibernate?

November 28, 2018A.You must, first, let the green growth die off outside. These cooler temperatures are what initiates dormancy. Bringing them in will only keep them growing, and not allow them the proper time to rest. Just make sure to wrap the roots so they will remain warm while the tops get killed by the cold.

December 11, 2018Q.Preparing canna lily rizones for winter storage
Should the roots be cut off before storing the rizone’s in a paper bag in a closet?

December 11, 2018A.You should leave those roots alone, and cut back the growth to only a few inches after it has died back. The storing process is not complicated if done correctly. This article will advise you on how to do so: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/bulbs/canna/storing-canna-bulbs.htm

May 9, 2019A.Canna lilies have tender tubers. In temperatures below 40 degrees F., they need to be dug up.
You could do a test dig and see if they are mushy or still looking healthy.

Certified ExpertA.Although these can handle full sun, they (like many plants) won't be able to tolerate quickly changing conditions. You must get them acclimated to the sun.
Start by putting them out for a few hours per day, until they don't react as much. Then you can start leaving them out until the cold weather returns. Then you will need to bring them in again.
