| Hi, I am kind of new to gardening and have no experience with Canna. I moved into a new home and the beds are a mess. I started cleaning one out this weekend and the canna tubers were a mass of about a foot long and 3-4 inches deep and I am not done yet. But in getting them out a lot broke into pieces. How do I know which pieces to plant and which i should discard? There are some that look white and fleshy and some that are brown. Thanks in advance! |

| Break apart the tubers where they will break. Plant the Pieces that have eyes (like on a potato)and white flesh inside. Some of the eyes will be a little pointed showing they are ready to sprout new growth. Discard brown and woody. Discard mushy. |
