Simply cut down all the foliage in Autumn to the soil level and lift the tuber and store away in dry peat, newspaper, or a paper bag and store away in a cool, dry location. Or if you have them in pots you can simply pull the containers inside in a frost free area for the winter. Lightly water the soil about once every 6-8 weeks to keep the tuber from drying out completely. 

Cannas transport any gardener to an exotic locale with their lush growth and tropical flower spikes. Roberta's Durban Canna produces the most colorful foliage of any cannas we've seen! It produces vibrant striping of burgundy, green, and orange all up and down the foliage with shoots of bright orange flower spikes in mid-summer. It's exceptionally pretty when the sun is glowing through the foliage. Durban is an incredible specimen that will illuminate your garden wherever you put it. Next is canna 'Pretoria' also known as Bengal Tiger or canna 'Striata' and this one really lives up to its name! It has striped foliage or alternating rows of green and cream with large, bright orange flowres atop purplish-red stems. The Royal Horticultural Society named this spectacular canna the Award of Garden Merit in 2002! Cannas look stunning in the garden as a focal point or simply massed up along walls or hedges! They're also fantastic on the patio or gathering areas as they're well suited for container growing as well. This collection includes 1 each in live plants of Durban and Bengal Tiger.
