Certified ExpertA.You can put the canna stalk in water to enjoy the bloom till it fades, but cannas don't root from cuttings. They grow from a rhizome and are propagated by division. Here is more:

I have canna lilies and am wondering if I can reseed them, or just simply plant the bulbs. They are thriving in a pot right now.

Certified ExpertA.Yes, you can plant the rhizomes without having to dig them back up for winter, and if it produces seed, you can plant those, too! However, the seed-grown cannas may not look like the parent plant. Here is more:

Certified ExpertA.Typically, you would just cut the tops off and move them into a safe area to "sleep" for the winter. Since yours may be overcrowded you may need to separate them and store them differently. This article will help:
