Re: Digging up cannas (and want more!)
I dig up some of my cannas (not all since they reproduce to be too many by fall) and wash off all the dirt, let them dry a couple of days, and put them in old laundry bags (labelled by cultivar) that I keep for that purpose. Another thing I like to do, since I have a few varieties, is collect the seeds. They cross pollinate, so I get interesting crosses from the seeds. If you collect the seeds, nick them with a file or knife and germinate indoors starting about early spring, so they'll be ready for planting in May/June.
