Cannas indoors

15 years ago

Hi all,

I am a newbie here and I have a question for ya. I bought a potted Banana Canna from a farmers market in Des Moines Iowa this summmer. I have it inside near a window right now, and it seems to be doing fine. It's even sending up new shoots or baby cannas! Yesterday, I dug up my first year cannas that were growing out front, (just four clumps) and have them in a box inside where I will get them ready to store.

So, do I need to do anything to the banana canna, or will it be alright until next Spring when I can put it outside? I also have four EE's that I dug that I am not sure what to do with...

Me,too! I have a canna I brought inside (Denver, CO) and left there while I'm in Texas 3 weeks. Is this okay? It seemed fine when I did it....
